#1 of 8 Veracruz oil leak by lakopp Dec 11, 2008 (2:52 pm)
I have a 2007 Veracruz and after having it serviced for 3 Hyundai recalls it sprung a massive oil leak in the timing gasket. Hyundai replaced the gasket and returned the car. It is still leaking (though not as much) and back in the shop again. Is anyone else having this issue? Hyundai said they can't figure out where this leak is coming from.

Replying to: lakopp (Dec 11, 2008 2:52 pm) Unfortunately I think I've just discovered this same issue with my 2007 Veracruz. I changed the oil yesterday, drove the car no more than a mile and came out the next morning to discover a puddle of oil underneath. I feared the obvious, unsecured oil pan drain, unsecured canister, oil fill cap, etc. All checked out. I came to this forum looking to see if there might be external oil lines on this vehicle that could possibly have developed a leak and saw your post.   The "mess" seems to be on the backside of the engine (the side that faces the firewall) and the oil splatter seems to be just about everywhere. Do you recall where the timng cover is? Front side or back side of the engine? When and how did you discover your leak?   Thanks, Greg
