OK... Why does KIA remind me of a Chia Pet?
Ch..Ch..ch..chia or Ki..Ki..Ki..Kia Anyway... I have a buddy that has a 2001 Sportage. He's 99% sure he’s got a leak between the tranny and the engine. We're pretty sure we have to pull the tranny to replace the gasket. I have no idea how to do this job and was wondering if any one did or would be willing to help us out. Did I mention he's got two kids... Any help will be appreciated... -- MattMan555 -- << 2000 Nissan X >> <<A lift and big tires >> << Now with Urine Protection >> |

Yes it's a KIA.
I'll double check, but I asked him the same question and he said it wasn't covered. -- MattMan555 -- << 2000 Nissan X >> <<A lift and big tires >> << Now with Urine Protection >> |

Have your buddy go bug the dealer! It should be a covered fix for another few years.
FOund this.....................................................................................> "For 2001, Kia has added even more value to Sportage with its new Long Haul Warranty. The basic warranty now extends to five years or 60,000 miles, while the powertrain is warranted for 10 years or 100,000 miles." http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:uVLKF8meBpUJ:www.internetautoguide.com/reviews/2001/2001_Kia_Sportage.html+2001+kia+sportage+warranty&hl=en .....................

Looks like that 99% sure was wrong on the tranny..
I just got an update from him... "The leak is actually coming from the oil pan. So I'm working on re-sealing that. Removing the oil pan was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be though. Instead of a gasket, they use a silicone sealant that holds the thing together like super glue. I missed getting the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty by 2 months, and I'm over the mileage for my extended warranty." Weird... Never heard of Silicone sealant for an oil pan... -- MattMan555 -- << 2000 Nissan X >> <<A lift and big tires >> << Now with Urine Protection >> |

Funny you mention that...
Just got this in... "I think so. Although I failed on my first try. After I put it back together, it was leaking from the exact same spot. I talked to one of the service guys from KIA and he said either I didn't clean the pan well enough or there is a crack somewhere. He told me they usually use a grinder on it to get it down to bare metal. I'm going to try using my rotary tool with a wire brush to clean it off and hope I don't find a crack."

I havent cleaned mine or put it back on yet. I would say a gasket scraper or razor blade would work fine. That's what I've always used. He's gotta degrease the surfaces... use some windex (or some other degreaser) on a rag to get any oil off. Then apply new RTV.. also, he needs to let the new RTV cure before he starts it up.
