Sounds like (you are sure) your upper pan has to come off any how, so might as well tear into it, I would think. I wonder if it would be worth a try to drain out your synthetic and go back to the regular old motor oil ? If doing so slow down your leak, that would be nice. Was it definitely the switch to synthetic oil (from conventional) that triggered your sudden oil leak ? For a long time, we have seen written recommendations against switching to synthetic in 'older' vehicles for that reason. Good luck on your project, let us know how it is going If you have any doubt at all about whether the timing belt tension is safe and adequate, a brand new tensioner might be well worth doing, and by all means make certain it is fully extended (plunger on the tensioner) whatever you do. At that point the housing itself is easy to remove.Ībout the slack in your timing belt : I would strongly urge you to take no chances, If the belt is that loose (as you describe) it I'm amazed it has not jumped. Alternator will need to be unbolted and moved aside slightly, then A/C compressor mount must have all mounting bolts backed out to finally allow access to the Oil filter Adapter Housing. You will find that things are a bit crowded as far as access. Some of the bolts that attach upper pan to block are up behind the Oil Fil. If the O rings you refer to are the ones which locate where the Oil Filter Adaptor Housing mounts, that job also is also a bit of a chore, but if you are going to remove upper oil pan anyhow, right now is the time to address those O Rings. Thanks for including that part number, I think I might have to get back with my local dealer on this.

I asked them if they ever get any calls for that part, and they said 'never.' So perhaps that particular employee did not know about the 21390-37130 O ring set you mention. They said those O-Rings were unavailable, completely, through them. The procedure is a bit lengthy to describe, so I'd like to verify that it applies for sure to this (2003) application before going into the details.Ībout the O rings : I went to get em from a Hyundai dealer, and they didn't even seem to be able to find the (oil filter adapter housing) O rings at all in their parts listings. I am hoping one of the senior wrench guys on this site can let us know : is the design the same (as far as oil pan setup) on the 03 model, compared to 08 ?

(Not good news, I know)Ībout the exact step-by-step on how to do this job : If oil pan design on your (2003) is, in fact, identical to that of mine (2008) then I can definitely log on here again and tell you how to go about doing upper oil pan on yours. Once you have removed all the bolts which attach upper oil pan to block, and break loose the factory (RTV) seal to remove the pan out, the pan will only drop slightly, before a certain portion of the rear main cap 'stops' it.

The reason why this (separating block from bell housing) step is required is that due to the design, the rear 'flange' of the upper oil pan is 'trapped' between the rear main cap and the bell housing, just enough to prevent it from dropping down free of the block. Again, I will emphasize, I'm not sure whether your 03 model shares identical design with my 08 or not (as far as engine oil pan) so you'll need to probably look into that before you proceed using the methods I would describe, based on my 2008. On my 08 engine, the upper oil pan cannot be removed from the engine at all, without separating the engine block (slightly) from the bell housing. The oil pan R&R on the 2.7 is absolutely not a quick, convenient job to do (at least it sure wasn't on my 08.) So of course, you will sure want to know what you are up against before you jump in. That seems to indicate your 03 model uses RTV only for that part, just as my 08 does. But no gasket whatsoever is offered for your 03 model upper pan to block. They do show a gasket for your lower pan (only) where it attaches to your upper pan. Upper pan to engine block is sealed using RTV (only) on my 08, so in fact, I found that no gasket for my application is available at all (or least I could never find one) I just took a look on a 'parts' website to see whether any upper pan to gasket is offered for your (2003) 2.7. I have had the upper pan off on my 2.7 liter (my Santa Fe is a 2008 model) I'm not sure whether your 2003 has any major design differences compared to my 08, but I will try to help you out with some general info, if possible.
