Elantra GLS Sedan L4-2.0L (1999)
Some 1996-99 Elantra and 1997-99 Tiburon transaxles produced prior to 05/15/99 may experience an oil leak in the bellhousing behind the torque
converter. If this occurs, the oil leak will be observed at the drain hole on the lower surface of the transaxle.
An oil leak at this location on a vehicle with less than 15,000 miles in service may be due to case porosity.
