Oil leak above filter and pan

[team_goose]

I noticed a leak above the filter and pan after pulling off the cover. Any idea where this leak might be coming from? There is a hole there where it drips through almost like it was designed for that.

Actually looking a bit closer in the daylight I can see this is coming from the top 3 bolts that were in another thread. So if you see this that is most likely your cause! Off to the dealer it goes.

Keep us updated on what they find. Might need to replace the gasket behind those 3 bolts. How many miles does your car have now?

Assuming thats what it will be. Right at 49k, and took video of the bolts so there is no you tampered with them story.

So dealer said its not under the powertrain warranty which is 3yr/36k. I have an extended warranty purchased from Kia from Zurich that is 10yr/100k that I asked about and he said it wasn't covered for it. I think he thought maybe Kia's 10yr warranty and not the extended. I would think they would look for that when bringing a vehicle in. While the deductible is 100.00 it would be worth it to replace the whole unit for that price but they are claiming its just the gasket only. So I am not paying a 100.00 if it were covered for an 8 dollar part. I will just order a new one.
