i20N oil pan sweating problem.

[karayel52]

Hi everyone,


I own a Hyundai i20 N with approximately 9,000 km.
It has not been used on a track. I only use it for short distances.

I've noticed a very slight oil sweating around the oil pan sealing surface, particularly between the oil pan bolts.


The oil residue is light yellow and barely noticeable. There are no oil drops on the ground, and the engine oil level has remained completely stable.


Interestingly, after cleaning the area, it remains completely dry following a 100 km drive. However, after several short trips over a period of 1–2 weeks, a slight oily film appears again.


Has anyone experienced something similar with their i20 N or i30 N?


Could this be a minor RTV sealant issue?


Would you recommend monitoring it or having the oil pan resealed?


Thanks!

Hi,
If I would be you I would monitor and if it's only sweating and not dripping, I would do nothing about it.
But only my opinion and I make everything myself and the car doesnt see any mechanic at a dealer

.. or Next time you're at the dealership mention it to them so they can check it out. If it's an issue it should be a free repair if you're still under warranty. I'd suspect improper installation/build process.

There is no decrease in the oil level, and it does not drip onto the ground. On one occasion, the service center added 400 ml too much oil; I noticed it immediately and drained the excess myself. I showed it to the service center, and they said it was fine and that there was no need to change it.
