Thanks for your response. No this thing is sticky as well, but not as thick as oil.
There is water from AC too, that is slight away from the Oil like spot on the floor.
I don,t what to do.

Are you sure they didn't top off some fluids or something when they prepped your car and maybe leaked something that eventually dripped off onto your floor?
 
If you're sure, lay a clean white cloth or towell under where you think it is dripping from. Take that cloth with you to the dealer and demand that it be fixed. I have two vehicles that are 5 and 6 years old and they don't drip anything.

Put a paper towel on the ground, under the leak overnight. With the evidence in hand, ask the service guy to tell you again that "there is no leak".

On my 2009 Sonata LTD the manual says the AC is on when the outside termp is over 35.
How can I run the system without the A/C being on in Spring or Winter? The system is automatic

I just wanted to up date you guys, I did exactly as you said, I put a pan underneath the car collected all the leak overnight, and took it Huffines of Plano, Tx. I went there and showed them the leak, now they said leave the car and they will check it out. After they kept the car they found that the sealer was omitted on the sealing surface, of the pan of the Oil This is what they said "" Screen Assembly Leaking Oil sealer Skips and omitted on Sealing Surface, removed and resealed properly """
I just got it back , I will report back if it still leaks.
 
FYI NO apology from them, as when I took it first time they flatly denied any leak, and they made me look as if I was making it up.
 
Even today when I showed them the oil I had collected, the gay asked me as me " Is this Oil from this Car" like saying I collected from some other car.
 
Beware of doing any business with Huffines of Plano.

My dealer said the feature is automatic on the 2009. After locking the car with the key fob and then unlocking it with the valet key, the trunk release switch is deactivated. It is still unclear if the rear seat latches are also deactivated. I have an appointment Monday to get this feature fixed on my Sonata. The sales staff got it to work on a Sonata on the showroom floor but mine doesn't work.

TPMS by sharksoup

Anyone have any insight into the tire pressure monitoring system?
 
I'm considering buying an extra set of steel wheels to mount snow tires. Made a few calls, including the dealership. Found that the base steel wheels are about $70 BUT the TPMS units are an additional $55 each - makes the setup cost $500. Needless to say, I'm rethinking that option as it seems a bit expensive.
 
Went on to question dealership further and was told that should I swap off the tires on the factory rims, I'll have to make a trip to the dealership to have the TPMS reset. Any experience with places like Sears or Walmart resetting the TPMS if it's needed? Or will the computer "learn" the setting over again if the tires are swapped?
 
Of course the alternative is to just forgot about the TPMS during the time I have winter tires on - then would likely have to live with a dash light being on all the time.
