Drive shaft seal joint repaired by main dealer Oct 2002, used the car say 4 times since then so only added about 100 miles, same shaft seal is now leaking again. Never looked when I got it back from dealer in Oct so dont know if it was ever really cured, car goes back to them mid April, so Jury's out on what caused the repeat event. |

Previous owner of my car had the oil changed @ FOBH in CA.
Car had to go back because it was leaking ALOT of oil after.
Something to do with the drain plug

it was on the 308 early last year. They said that if the clamp is too far from the end of the hose that it could break and/or leak which mine did. I saw them unclamp it (after removing the airbox and the like) move the clamp not even a 1/8 of an inch toward the end of the hose and then retighted it.
I have not had a hose break or leak on the 512 but I could see how it could happen.
Did you have yours replaced recently? If so I would not be too concerned. Par for the course with F-cars.

Mlemus, was it on your 1982 Boxer ? I just had a hose clamp on my 1982 Boxer fail causing a big leak . |

Coolant leak from Ferrari of Denver.
the return hose from the radiator to the thermostat housing was leaking. the clamp was not in the proper location causing a drip.
annyoing but not a big deal.
Now the Ford is another story. |

How many out there have had their F-car repaired and/or serviced and then had to carry it back to the shop after a problem arose ? If so, from what repair facility ? |
