Had the third service done this morning on my 2010 Elantra GLS Touring Sport. I noticed that there is some oil all around the edges of the valve cover where it meets the head.
When I questioned the service desk about this they had a tech inspect it and he said it was only what they call "sweating" and is not covered by the "bumper-to-bumper" warranty. I said but that is oil so the integrity of the gasket has failed. He said no...it is quite common and warranty will not cover this. Any thoughts on this? Am I being fed a line here? I love my car but this is my first ever new car and I am very disappointed. My 11 yr old Subaru Forester has two valve covers and neither of them have this "sweaty" leak. My GFs car is a 2004 Chevy Cav and that too is nice and dry around the same area. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Ralph. Winnipeg, CANADA. -------------------- A proud member of the club.
