    My 2011 Hyundai Getz is leaking oil
    Answered by David Morley · 14 January 2025

    It could be a single oil leak that is showing up in more than one place. The first place to check would be the rocker cover gasket which are prone to leaks (not just on Hyundais). If this has failed, oil could be leaking along the edge of the rocker cover and on to the gearbox, while the same leak could appear as though it’s coming from the spark plug socket (as well as a variety of other places).

    The best way to find the location of an oil leak, is usually to clean the engine thoroughly, removing all the build-up oil, grease and dirt. Allow the engine to dry and then take the car for a drive. By continually checking the engine over the next few days you might be able to spot the source when the oil leak reappears.

    Hyundai Getz 2011: Trouble getting into reverse gear?
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 16 February 2012

    I doubt there is anything wrong. When it happens just engage one of the other gears and try reverse again. If it persists and gets worse have your dealer make sure the clutch is fully disengaging.

    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 24 June 2004

    IF IT'S a manual it might be a case of getting the right balance of engine revs and clutch slip. If it's auto it might just be a case of applying the right amount of revs to keep the engine firing. As for the doors, lower the window slightly and the doors will close more easily. The Getz has a small cabin and closing the door compresses the air inside. Lowering the window allows the air to escape as you close the door.
