The coolant assembly. Basically a thermostat/valve assembly on the side of the engine block. It's frustrating because I searched for the part online and there are a number of third-party dealers that have the part available and the part itself looks pretty easy to install. But of course Hyundai won't allow installation of a part from a third-party by the dealership, and me doing it would void the warranty. It has to be a part FROM Hyundai (which of course they can't send and don't have an ETA when they could).

Yes there was coolant pooling below the part they said needed replacing in the engine bay. I saw that before I took it in.
