I am the original owner of a 2000 Sonata GLS V6 with automatic with
63,000 miles. I have very recently noticed just a small amount of
fluid leakage from the trannie.

Will this little leak be covered by the power train warranty.
HyundaiTech, anyone?

As long as it's coming from the transmission itself, probably. Just about
the only possible leaks there that wouldn't be covered would be the input,
output, and vehicle speed sensor seals, and of course, impact damage.

If the leak is coming from the cooler hoses, cooler, or radiator, it'll be
your responsibility. If it's leaking in the area of the radiator fitting,
replace the radiator immediately. I've seen a few of these mix coolant
and transmission fluid.

You should only be good up to 60,000 miles. After that, you're out of
warranty. Have you already had your trans fluid flushed and the gasket
replaced? I had mine done at around 70k from the dealership and I
don't remember it being that much...maybe less than $200 for all the
servicing.

Is the powertrain warranty not good for 100k; Or is that a new
phenomenon?

Powertrain warranty is 100k. Double check what's covered in your
Hyundai manual.

Before you stated that the power train warrnaty expired at 60,000
miles.
Here is a qoute of your posting -

Old Timer / George Smith,

I wasn't clear when I said that. The dealership told me the
transmission is covered up to 60k. Either they lied to me or the
warranty is not the whole transmission. This is what I was basing that
assessment on with respect the transmission leak question. Here's a
snippet from the Hyundai Warranty site:

"10 YEAR / 100,000 MILES POWERTRAIN PROTECTION: Covers most engine &
transaxle components."

Covers repair or replacement of powertrain components (i.e. selected
Engine and Transmission/Transaxle components), originally manufactured
or installed by Hyundai that are defective in material or factory
workmanship, under normal use and maintenance. Coverage applies to
Original Owner only effective with 2004 Model Year and newer model
year vehicles. On 1999-2003 Model Years, coverage applies to Original
Owner and immediate family members (i.e. wife, husband, daughter, son,
stepdaughter, stepson).

Second and/or subsequent owners have powertrain components coverage
under the 5 year / 60,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Excludes
coverage for vehicles in commercial use (i.e. taxi, route delivery,
delivery service, rental, etc.).
