Description of the problem	I was losing oil without an obvious oil leak. The psi in the 3rd cylinder was 90 and when spark plugs were replaced the new ones were covered in oil. I was told i needed a new engine. I contacted hyundai and they told me to take it to a certified hyundai mechanic and have them diagnose it and submit a repair assistance request as i was the second owner and the car is 8 years old with 80,000 miles. It cost $700 for the diagnostic and i was told i needed a new engine. Hyundai denied the repair assistance request and i had to pay $700 for the diagnostic. Neither the repair shop or hyundai thought to tell me that i should do an oil consumption test because doing so would have likely made hyundai responsible like many of the other engine recalls they are dealing with. I have since had to replace the engine myself.
