Right but if you're 10 feet from the shore and you jump 9 feet, you're still going to be all wet. Being close only counts with horseshoes. If the car had been serviced regularly and recently at the dealer, even just basic oil changes then they would have likely covered it based on my experiences.
For instance on the Matrix I took it in for an oil change at 59k right before the powertrain warranty was going to expire. I told them the coolant level was low and on the add mark. 5k later and now past the warranty it was low again. They covered the cost of a new water pump since I mentioned the issue of low coolant before the warranty expired.
