Curious about everyone's thoughts on this... My wife was in a car accident in the Elantra yesterday. Not a serious accident and everyone is okay. She rear ended another car and there is minor front end damage to our car. I had checked our oil about a week ago and I regularly look for any leaks or low fluid levels, etc. on all vehicles I own. I had to add maybe 1/4 of a quart about 4500 miles into my 7500 mile OCI a week ago which is typical. Never noticed any leaks. Checked the engine after the accident to make sure there was no coolant or tranny fluid leaks or anything that would prevent the car from being driveable after the accident. I noticed a pretty decent amount of oil seeping from the valve cover down the front of the engine onto the exhaust manifold. This wasn't happening a week ago but the car accident did not push anything back into the engine. Are these two things happening at the same time purely coincidental? A friend of mine suggested that I probably had the leak and the jarring from the accident just exposed it more. Sound right to you guys?
