I have a 2012 Kia Sedona and have just completed the ninth or tenth oil change on this vehicle. The top mounted canister assembly has developed a leak between the oil cap flange and the o ring that seats between this flange and the filter housing. Upon inspection, the cap flange face has two notches,about 2mm wide and 1.5mm deep 180 degrees apart, and this is where the oil is leaking from. Various torque values on the cap make no difference.
Is there anyone who can offer any information? Since these notches appear to be part of the cap casting, I am assuming that they were put there for a reason....possibly for presssure relief which is stupid since it blows oil right onto the exhaust manifold heat shield.
