Since I change my oil myself, I noticed significant corrosion on the oil pan about a year ago. The problem is in Hyundai's design. The exhaust is located so close to the oil pan that the heat from the exhaust pipe accelerates the corrosion. The corrosion is located only in those areas adjacent the exhaust pipe / catalytic converter. The pan is leaking now. Could easily have caused all oil to leak out quickly resulting in engine failure due to lack of oil.
