Torque convert leak

[Zstinger]

2019 stinger GT all-wheel-drive 40,000 miles and our other 2019 GT two with 60,000 miles have both had torque converter leaks from the transmission Bell housing covered under warranty but a real pain in the ass takes nearly a month to get the car back anybody else experiencing this what are the odds both our stingers fell victim to this leak?

I could joke about the odds, but refrain. We have two Stingers as well, an '18 and a '19.

How does this issue reveal itself?

Have to pull off the splash panel during oil change. The leak will show on the trans bell housing

Thanks. Why is that serious? It looks like a very minimal leak, almost like heavy sweating. Does the splash panel have a lot of fluid soaking into it?

If your talking main seal, I have same issue. Took car in for oil change yesterday and to have them look at the filter housing cause I thought I had a leak from it. Which I do. Turns out the Main Seal also has a leak. So its submit to Kia Protect for approval and get her fixed. Was told its a 2-3 day job(22hrs). Glad I bought the extended warranty that runs through Aug 2027. Car only has 104k/km on it.

Same thing here. Has had this since day 1 (2019 GT1 AWD - currently at 49k miles.) It's motor oil, not trans fluid (not red). *Please let us know if you get this fixed what the issue is - and how much to repair.*

If you have had it since day 1, get it fixed before warranty runs out. I'm told its 22hr job. So at $150hr, your looking at $4k with taxes in.

Took it to dealer I bought it from shortly after purchasing and they blew me off and said it was coming from my catch can - but it’s obviously not. Guess I’ll have to find another dealer that doesn’t lie.

Remove the catch can and take it back in and see what "they" say. Ha hah.
