My 2007 hyundai veracruz broke down 2 days ago–the 2 month old battery was dead due to the alternator failure. The shop diagnosed the origin of the problem as a leak at the valve cover gasket, which ruined the alternator, and thus disabled the battery. My car has approx. 70,000 miles on it. Should this be covered under their warranty?
