Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: 2013 - Clear Fluid Leaking Out Of The Engine


Jul 8, 2016

I have a 2013 Sonata SE without about 41K on it. I got the oil changed back in May, and a few weeks after I discovered that it was leaking. I took it back to the oil change place and they ensured me that they cleaned up the mess they may have left behind. A month or two later, I believe the engine is still leaking. I've cleaned up two significantly huge puddles of oil, yet the dipstick says the oil level is right below the dot under the full mark. I checked to see if the oil filter was dirty, meaning the leak would come from there if the wrong filter was installed. The oil filter is clean.

There is also a clear fluid leaking out of the engine now too. I thought it was water, but it has a bitter taste to it. It may be the air conditioner, but it has never once spit out water like this since purchasing the car new in October of 2013.

My engine also gets hot much quicker than it ever did before. I can move the car a few feet after starting it up and it will go one notch below halfway on the temperature gauge. It has never exceeded this temperature, but it sure gets there quicker now after this oil issue began. I can also tell when the car is feeling a little sluggish in terms of acceleration, and right now, it's certainly feeling sluggish. The 2.4L isn't as peppy as it usually is.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: 2013 - Engine Takes A Little Bit Longer To Start

I got the 2013 sonata gls, 5700 kms.

I live in southern Ontario, in Canada and the weather is starting to drop here in the mornings and nights.

The mornings are not 0-3 degrees Celsius and at night a little bit colder.

I have notice that when I start my car in the morning it seems like the engine takes a little big longer to start. It takes no longer than 2 seconds to actually start, it just sounds like its struggling a bit more.

I notice once i drive the car for a bit, park and then start the car again it seems like it fires up quicker and without ease.

Is this due to the drop in weather? or something else at play here.

Also it seems like in the mornings when the car has been sitting for like 9 hours, after it starts the engine sounds louder than usual.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: 2013 - Humming Noise From Engine When Accelerate Or Car Decelerates

New Sonata GL owner. Just picked it up last week and I love the car. Great drive, great features. Only thing is I am noticing that there's a humming noise from the engine whenever I accelerate and when the car decelerates. It's not really noticeable during the day when the streets are busy and I'm listening to the radio etc., but at night when I'm driving on quiet streets its quite audible and it almost sounds like Diesel engine.

I read a few threads on this and people have attributed it to the direct fuel injection - is this humming sound normal? Do all sonatas sound like this? Or should I go back to the dealership and get it checked out?

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Axle Seal Leaking Transmission Fluid?

At the 30k service, Toyota technician said he noticed transmission fluid leaking at the axle seal." I was gonna show Lexus this at some point, or maybe get an oil change there at the 40k service.

Touareg :: 2011 - Rear Wiper Does Not Lift Up / Leaking Fluid

[IMG] .....

I have the 2011 Touareg Hybrid and having a problem with the rear wiper. (Hybrid, TDI, or V6) I have 2 issues:

- Issue 1 : The rear wiper is leaking fluid and it drips down onto the tailgate and leaves a stain. (See photo) The first time i noticed this I have the wipers in the auto sensing mode. It has not rained any, but I thought it was possibly activating. After washing vehicle, I turned off the the auto sensing and it has not rained at all nor have I used the wiper for anything. It did it again. I have informed my service advisor at VW and they are going to look at it next time I take it in.

- Issue 2 : My dealer and I have narrowed this down to be only on the Hybrid. The rear wiper does not lift up. Meaning I cannot pull the wiper out at all for cleaning and washing vehicle. When I got my hybrid, I could do that. However, there is a cap at the end covering the spray holes. We had to push the cap down further to where the holes in the cap lined up with where the water shoots out. This appears to be the correct position for the cap, but it now prevents you from being able to raise the wiper. You can also see the cap in the photo.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: 2009 2.4L - Steering Rack Leaking PS Fluid

2009 Sonata 2.4L ... About 60 000km ago, the complete steering rack was replaced under warranty. Now I notice the PS fluid going down in the PS reservoir. I checked for any loose fittings, all look OK. But I did notice PS droplets hanging from the steering rack boots. So today I replaced the PSF4 fluid with Amsoil PS fluid. I suspect maybe some seals are leaking. Any good product I can use to maybe stop the leaks?

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2011 F350 - Trans Fluid Leaking?

Took my '11 F350 CC 6.7 Lariat with 31k miles on it into the dealer to have the tranny fluid leak looked at. I noticed this leak a few weeks ago as the bell housing was damp with fluid and the bolts heads on the underside of the poly engine oil pan were pooled with fluid. It is a very slow leak as I have parked it for 3 days and there were no drips of fluid on the ground, just collecting on the grid like pattern on the oil pan. Checked Fluid level and it is also full.

Anyway, the dealer put dye in the tranny fluid and told me to drive it for a few days. I took it back in on Monday and called this morning for an update. The mechanic informed that they ordered a new torque converter and some other parts to be "proactive" because he believes the TC is the issue. I asked if the cab would have to be pulled and they informed that all the work could be done from underneath. Glad I noticed this before the B2B warranty expired because this would have been expensive. I will be THOROUGHLY inspecting the entire vehicle from top to bottom before I hit 36k.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: 2.4 Oil Pan Seal Is Leaking

I've started noticing oil stains on my garage floor lately that seem to be getting bigger and bigger within the past week. I got curious so I put the car on ramps and had a look. It looks like my oil pan seal is leaking, not just in one spot, but all the way around it. Car only has 23k miles on it. I'm supposed to drive a 7 hour trip Sunday morning so I don't have time to take it to the dealer. So now I guess I need to take an extra quart of oil with me just in case. I'm trying to give Hyundai a fair shot but these issues are getting old quick!

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Transmission Fluid Level Check

I was wondering if there is a dipstick for checking the automatic transaxle fluid. I have searched my car and the owner's manual but have yet to find anything that addresses the auto transaxle. If I have managed to overlook it just give me a page number in the manual.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Low Washer Fluid Warning Message

My 2012 Sonota's message center has just recently come up with this message 'Low washer fluid' which will not go away. The car has a low windshield washer fluid light which is not 'on' (to indicate a low fluid situation). I have filled the reservoir which has done nothing to either status (the low warning message, or the low warning light). It seems to me the both indicators should be saying the same thing but are not. The windshield washers are working just fine. I would like to clear the warning message. Is there a way?

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Code P0711 - Transmission Fluid Temp Sensor

I have a 2011 Sonata with 30000 miles. It started shifting funny. It would jump when you put it in drive and shift strangely in all gears. Called the dealer to make an appointment, cancelled as I couldn't get off work. In the meantime, car stopped doing this.

After a while, this started again. Stopped by a shop that offered free code check, the code is P0711 Transmission Fluid Temp Sensor. They said your fluid is overheating and we don't know why, we have to take the transmission off to find out the cause.

Prius (2004-09) :: No Wiper Fluid Spray To Keep Windshield Clear

Troubleshooting the wiper fluid spray system in my 2007 Prius. So today, after the big winter storm here in New York, I had to go out and run some errands. Everything was working fine, used the wiper fluid spray a few times during my drive to keep my windshield clear. When I was about to get home, I tried to spray the windshield one last time, but no fluid came out. Also tried the rear sprayer and no fluid came out of there either. The first thing I did when I get home is to check the wiper fluid reservoir, and there is plenty of wiper fluid in there.

I can hear the pumps whirr when I tried to activate the wiper fluid spray, (tried both front and back, both have the pump whirring sounds), but no fluids sprayed out.

I'm thinking maybe something got clogged in the wiper fluid spraying system somewhere. Is this something I can try to fix myself?

Golf/GTI VI :: Fluid Leaking From Near Front Of Engine Bay

Looks like my car started to leak fluid from somewhere near the front of the engine bay yesterday.

I noticed a fairly large spot under my car after work yesterday. Today I parked in a different lot and work and sure enough, there was another wet spot under the car tonight.

Seems to be near the front of the engine bay. I can see any leaks from the tip and the car runs fine so far.

Whatever is leaking out seems to be more or less clear an oily. The engine oil has about 7000 miles on it, so I would expect that to be darker.

Car is a 2010 MK6 GTI w/DSG - about 27k miles on the clock.

Some extra info: My commute to work is about 35 miles one way and i didn't see a wet spot in my garage this morning. Seems like whatever leaked out came out after my short lunch break drive yesterday and then again after lunch today - but not after the 35 mile Hwy drive home.

Passat - Volkswagen :: 2001 - Engine Overheating / Fluid Leaking

Another month and another problem to be resolved. Here goes: The 2001 Passat 1.8T has had a hard life in the past year. The specifics are listed in previous posts. Most recently, the radiator was replaced because the engine was overheating again. The car has been leaking fluid ever since but it is not radiator fluid. Yesterday, I took a look at the oil and found tan gunk mixed in with the oil. I must admit that I had concerns after the fact about the shop that did the last oil change. Is it possible for mechanic to screw up the head gasket while replacing the radiator? It was fine before the repair. Is there another source to look for the seepage into the oil? Basically, the question is - Is the car destined for the graveyard because of this?
