Description of the problem	Front corner of valve cover is leaking oil onto my alternator causing it to become saturated with oil and electrical shutdown. The same oil is spreading all around my drive belt from the alternator and saturating all pullies and the entire drive belt as well. I am having problems charging my battery electrical shutdowns on the highway and with other components such as steering, a/c and belt not wanting to grip the pullies that it rides on. Very dangerous. Numerous complaints simular to the same exact engine on the hyundai crossover that has the same engine type but was recalled to fix. Why are santa fe owners left out of this recall if it is the same exact enging as the crossover that was recalled and fixed.
