Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Can you please share where the oil is coming from? How much oil? Pictures are always helpful as it raises attention, please keep in mind, social media is effective as support if you post images, once images are posted, it will get reposted and you will get attention. Automotive warranty these days is only good for catastrophic failures, smaller issues almost always end up with "cannot replicate" from a dealer and round around you go. That is why we have may expert and friendly folks on this forum who can advise if they see photos but I realize crawling under to take pics is not always possible.

They are putting in a new engine. I don’t have any pictures the car has been at the dealers since May 22nd.

Very sorry to hear about that, this is a major trouble. If they are putting new engine in it this is something far more serious than oil leak. This car is a Lemon! Consult a local Lemon Law attorney and seek Kia to repurchase it. Good luck to you.

Sorry about that. I hope Kia is taking good care of you.
This doesn't sound like Lemon Law material as a single failure (no matter how major) doesn't make a car a "lemon" - it takes repeated failed attempts to get it fixed over a period of time.
