2008 Mitsubishi Lancer oil transmission cooler has corroded from normal use.

A few months after I purchased my used evo x with 30,000 miles and a 5 yr/ 60,000 mile warranty, I noticed a puddle of fluid accumulating while it was parked in the rear passanger side of the vehicle. I soon did research to determine where it was coming from. I learned my ayc/acd pump is leaking, after further investigating it turns out this pump is nototriuos for leaking and failing. The Mitsubishi dealer denied my warranty claim and I was never given a reason, even after asking why. I have since then contacted a third party dispute center. This pumps the necessary fluid to the front and rear of the all wheel drive assemblies. If this pump fails, it will ultimately destroy the entire drive train/ all wheel drive system. Resulting in it locking up, causing the driver to loose control. As far as I know, the driver of the vehicle is unable to cause this part to be faulty, unless it is damaged, therfore is a defective part and should be replaced or fixed to insure the safety of its driver and others on the road.
