    I am the original owner of a 2000 Sonata GLS V6 with automatic with
    63,000 miles. I have very recently noticed just a small amount of
    fluid leakage from the trannie.

    Will this little leak be covered by the power train warranty.
    HyundaiTech, anyone?

    As long as it's coming from the transmission itself, probably. Just about
    the only possible leaks there that wouldn't be covered would be the input,
    output, and vehicle speed sensor seals, and of course, impact damage.

    If the leak is coming from the cooler hoses, cooler, or radiator, it'll be
    your responsibility. If it's leaking in the area of the radiator fitting,
    replace the radiator immediately. I've seen a few of these mix coolant
    and transmission fluid.

    You should only be good up to 60,000 miles. After that, you're out of
    warranty. Have you already had your trans fluid flushed and the gasket
    replaced? I had mine done at around 70k from the dealership and I
    don't remember it being that much...maybe less than $200 for all the
    servicing.

    Is the powertrain warranty not good for 100k; Or is that a new
    phenomenon?

    Powertrain warranty is 100k. Double check what's covered in your
    Hyundai manual.

    Old Timer / George Smith,

    I wasn't clear when I said that. The dealership told me the
    transmission is covered up to 60k. Either they lied to me or the
    warranty is not the whole transmission. This is what I was basing that
    assessment on with respect the transmission leak question. Here's a
    snippet from the Hyundai Warranty site:

    "10 YEAR / 100,000 MILES POWERTRAIN PROTECTION: Covers most engine &
    transaxle components."

    Covers repair or replacement of powertrain components (i.e. selected
    Engine and Transmission/Transaxle components), originally manufactured
    or installed by Hyundai that are defective in material or factory
    workmanship, under normal use and maintenance. Coverage applies to
    Original Owner only effective with 2004 Model Year and newer model
    year vehicles. On 1999-2003 Model Years, coverage applies to Original
    Owner and immediate family members (i.e. wife, husband, daughter, son,
    stepdaughter, stepson).

    Second and/or subsequent owners have powertrain components coverage
    under the 5 year / 60,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Excludes
    coverage for vehicles in commercial use (i.e. taxi, route delivery,
    delivery service, rental, etc.).
