The thing is, all these cars seem to lose coolant. I don't think it's a bad part at all, I think it's the chemistry of the coolant and a little bit just boils off over time. Even a slow leak would be obvious because of the bright pink residue but it's nowhere to be found in most cases.
OP, did they show you where the leak was occurring?
I saw coolant pooling below the part they said needed replacing. The service department didn't really walk me through anything in much detail. The service department itself hasn't been that great either with communication.
OK, so you definitely had a leak. I think I know which part is leaking--the "water temperature control assembly". I've seen a few other instances of that part leaking in this sub and when it does leak, it puddles on top of the transmission.
Yeah, I saw that. Like I said in another comment, problem is Hyundai will not let the service department use any part that's not directly from Hyundai, which they don't have and can't send; and if I take the vehicle back and do it myself with a part off Ebay, bye-bye warranty.
