Before starting this repair please note: DO NOT over tighten the sensor. Over tightening the sensor will lead to cracking the housing.
Today I talk about a common oil leak on Kias and Hyundais with the 3.5 liter v6. This Leak can be hard to find and is commonly misdiagnosed as a rear main seal. I go over how to find the leak source and perform a step by step guide to repairing the leak.
Thank you for watching! Please like and subscribe. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments section. I try my best to respond to every one of them.

DO NOT over tighten the sensor. The threads are a tapered pipe thread and over tightening will lead to damage of the housing the sensor is threaded into.

​@@samroberts7165I'm currently doing that. The housing is called the "Oil Cover". You have to drain the coolant, remove the coolant assembly, on the driver's side of the engine, remove the the center coolant pipe and then you'll have access to it. You'll need to replace the oil cover gasket, the two o rings on the center pipe, and the gaskets on the coolant assembly. I recommend adding a little RTV to the oil cover gasket, the seal it better. I torqued everything to spec and still had it leaking a tiny bit of oil. Have been doing this job since Monday afternoon. It is currently Thursday morning. I just want it done.

Thank you very much, Kia Sorento v6, 3.5. dealership found a oil leak, quoted me a rear main seal, valve cover, oil pan gasket and timing belt cover. $1700 but couldn’t tell me specifically which gasket was the fail point. A little Google and KZbin tells me it’s a few gaskets and once sensor. Save me a Ton of money and anxiety.

Thank you for your in depth coverage here. I own a 2017 Santa Fe that has an oil leak. Not much is leaking but, it's enough to look into getting it repaired. I took it to my local mechanic who generally has done good work for me on multiple vehicles over the years. They definitely misdiagnosed my leak as the main rear seal. $900 later, I still have a leak! Taking it back tomorrow armed with information from your video.

Great video, I've had to do this twice on our 2012 santa fe, the first time it happened I thought for sure we had a major engine failure. The first time I replaced the oil pressure sensor I used an OEM part from the dealer and it failed about 12 months after it was replaced and leaked oil again. The second time I purchased one from the local autoparts store and it's been holding for 2+ years. I've had luck sneaking a deep socket in under the coolant crossover tube with a long wobble extension to get the old sensor out. Saves a lot of time messing with box wrenches. Also, I would recommend anyone looking to diagnose this to invest in one of those small USB inspection cameras or boroscopes from amazon. Mine cost me $25 and has saved my butt more than once looking at hard to reach places like under the plenum (it's how I discovered my original sensor was leaking).

Couldn't believe my luck when I found this video. My 2010 Santa Fe 3.5 with 326,000km threw the oil light on my way home from work. Pulled over and checked under the front end. Oil was running out the bottom of engine where it joins the tranny. Was sure it was the crank seal. That was until i saw this video and confirmed it was the oil sensor. Yippee !!! Still a tough repair but far easier than fixing a rear crank seal. Thanks a bunch! This was an easy-ish DIY fix with $150 in parts verses a full engine pull and likely well over $1000 in labour if it was a crank seal failure. Book hours for the sensor is 3 hrs crank seal 11 hrs 3 things I found helpful from my experience. Box end wrench on the sensor also did not work for me. The wrench body was too wide to get any swing. I used a socket which I slide in under the fuel rail. You could also grind out a section of the box end wrench where it interferes with the head to allow for more swing. Secondly the 6mm allen bolts to detach the lower plenum are quite deep. You'll need at least a 3" long key head to get down between the fuel rail and the ports to get to the bolts ( you can also loosen the fuel rails to get an extra millimeter or two of clearance if you have a shorter wrench and need to get the wrench head down farther). I also had to cut the sensor wire from the remoter starter to allow the upper plenum to e moved out of the way.

Wait, a Sedona? Presume that's w/ the 3.8 engine. Same issue on that engine? -- that this guidance also applies to my 2009 Sedona? Common explanation for oil drizzling (slowly) down across belt side of my engine (and ruining the alternator - after several months) is leaking valve cover gaskets. I changed the front one, but leaking continued. (and ruined a second alternator) Was about to change the rear VCGasket... (may do that yet) But this is the first video I've come across confidently telling me the problem is with the oil pressure sensor (!).... (and min 2:30 shows how....) Yet what an long, long job (anything but an "easy fix) to get down to it!... Any further tips/thoughts from your Sedona experience?

Very good video. I had no luck using a wrench to loosen the sensor. I found that using a non-impact 3/8" drive 15/16" deep well socket was much easier. It is a bit shorter than its 1/2" drive counterpart, and that little difference in length gave me just enough room to get the socket on the sensor in that cramped little space. I also recommend that if you use shop towels to cover the intake so that nothing falls in that you make sure to remove them before reassembly. Don't ask me how I know.

Just an FYI for anyone with this issue. First, there is a bulletin on it from KIA. This may be covered by warranty even if outside it otherwise. Second, my sons Sedona just had this problem, and the oil did NOT leak to the back area of the valley and onto the rear main area. On his engine, the oil from the switch got pushed into the wiring insulation (in with the copper wire), the path went out to the right front (left looking at it from the front of car) to a group of solenoids mounted on the engine above the valve cover. Some of the oil also dripped onto the serpentine belt and got thrown around a bit. The dealer fixed it under warranty and also replaced some wiring since we complained. Don’t know if they got it all though, but it’s documented for later. The oil light would also sporadically illuminate.

Don't forget to change the spark plugs when you have everything off, because it's almost the same procedure. They designed this engine to never get fixed so highly technical (they could have placed the oil sensor anywhere but.. ) same deal with the alternator have to take half the engine apart.

Amazing video! I love how you show each and every bolt, hose and wire connector! I have had a slow leak in my 2011 Kia Sorento with the same engine for at least 3 years. One shop said it was the water pump seal. Your description of the leak sounds spot on though. Going to look tomorrow and try to see that valley. Do you think the sensor would leak this slow for that long though? Or is this usually an all or nothing failure? It's starting to slowly get worse. Keep up the great work!

Thank you! the sensor could start off as a small leak and progressively get worse.

Great video! As a future video suggestion how about replacing the cam advancers on this engine (they are causing noise at cold startup), without timing cover removal?

Hey , you're doing great work! I have oil leak on my 08 Entourage , at front passenger side of engine. I can see it accumulating on nearby distributor. Any common leaks in this area? I still haven't figured out exactly where it's coming from. Tia. Mark

Incredible video! I believe this is my issue on my 2012. It seems to be leaking from somewhere above the starter... which, to me, corresponds to the weep hole at the end of the valley you described (on the right hand side of the engine). At least that's where I think it's coming from. Does that sound about right? Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the process.

Very nice video! Great work. I have a very significant oil leak from my 2015 Genesis V8 5.0. The leak appears down at the weep hole near the bottom of the bell housing. It leaks quick enough with the car idling in park that I am not driving it. I am wondering if you know that the problem you fixed in your video could be the same on my 5.0. I downloaded the hyundai tech manual for my car (19.00$) and it seems to indicate there is an oil pressure sensor in the valley as you had on the car in the video...but I think the manual is translated from Korean, so its a little unclear. Same set up you think? Thank you.

Excellent diagnostics and explanation. This *may* be a potential issue on the 3.3T engines as well. More owners (G70/Stinger) are seeing a slight oil seep between the engine and trans.

Have the dreaded p200a code for the actuator motor. Possible manifold butterfly damage. Was thinking about repairing this and proactively doing the oil switch as well. Have you done this repair yet? No videos on You Tube yet except one showing the manifold with one side bad and not opening.

Thanks for your help and support. I have a 2007 kia sedona oil leak and I'm not sure where it's coming from. The shop I had look at it didn't seem to know either. From the Bottom of the Sedona I can see the leak on the passenger side which looks like it's also coming from the oil pan. Do you have any suggestions?
