My wife left to visit her parents out of town last saturday in her Amanti (2005 with 2460 miles on it). A couple of hours later I enter the garage to get in my Avalanche and I notice a large spot of what it look like oil on the floor .The smell was pretty strong, something like a 80/90W grease. Time to panick? Well I check all fluids the day before she left so I knew was not engine oil and transmission fluid is red...Called her on the phone and ask if any unusual accurence was going on. (I didn't want to panick her). She reported that nothing seem wrong.When she reached her parents house I told her my discovery and to find a KIA dealer locally.She found one but had to wait till this morning to take her car in.
Now for the explanation given to me by the Service Manager on the phone..............there is too much undercoating (cosmoline)under the car and is melting!!!!!!!!!!!
Why a car that she has been driving for 3 mos and has more than 2000 miles has decided to melt her own undercoating?
Has anybody out there had a similar occurrence? If so let me know, it would put my mind at ease that the diagnosis was correct. Tks.
