Why is my Genesis G70 leaking oil near the turbo after the oil feed pipe recall?

Short answer: Certain 2019-2022 Genesis G70 3.3T cars are under recall 24V191000 for a left turbo oil feed pipe that can leak. If you see smoke or oil near the turbo, stop driving and check your VIN. Some owners reported leaks even after a prior recall repair.

Symptom: Oil smell, smoke from the engine bay, oil near the driver-side turbo, or a letter about the turbo oil feed pipe recall.

What to check first

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for 24V191000.
2. If you see smoke or fresh oil by the turbo, park the car and arrange a tow.
3. Ask the dealer whether the recall was done and which parts were replaced.
4. Keep photos of any leak for the service advisor.

Likely causes

1. Deteriorated left turbo oil feed pipe (recall 24V191). NHTSA recall 24V191000 covers certain 2019-2022 G70 3.3T vehicles for a left turbocharger oil feed pipe that can deteriorate and leak oil.
2. Poor prior recall repair / fitting leak. One owner saw smoke and oil near the driver-side turbo about a year after the recall pipe had already been replaced before they bought the car.
3. Valve cover or other turbo-bay leak. A G80 owner with similar smoke found a valve cover issue instead. Diagnosis still matters.

What it usually costs

Recall repairs are free at Genesis. Owners described roughly a half-day shop visit.

Is it safe to keep driving?

No if it is actively leaking onto hot parts—fire risk. Get it towed if needed.

DIY or shop?

No. This is a dealer recall repair.
