Hey guys, my 355 seems to have developed a leak from directly under the rear case, where the mesh cover is. What is involved in fixing this before i take it appart?

sounds like fluid from the throw out bearing.

You have to pull the center muffler, the bell housing, then disassemble the TO Bearing Assembly and install a set of new seals.

Allan,

actually it is a rat

Allan,

actually it is a rather striaght forward easy job. How many miles on the car? Is it time for a clutch while you're in there?

I have some pics somewhere of a 355 clutch job, I'll see if I can find them.

In the mean time keep the Brake Fluid resivoir topped up.

Yes its a 6 speed, with about 7,000 miles. I went and looked today and it had not leaked. Do you think it just happened because the car sat for 2 weeks? Im pretty sure it was brake fluid, as it was clear. Btw, did i tell you how much i love Ferrari's?

Allan,

I think only having 7K miles is the problem.....you're not paying enough attention to it. Now go out and kiss it and tell it you luv it.
