    I have an 88.5 328 and just noticed a leak which seems to be directly under the engine. Is it fairly common to see this and should I be concerned? Thanks for your help!!

    Mine was leak free after the 30K service in January. Now it drops a spot every few weeks. My mechanic had a look, said it was no big deal and that he'd reseal it at the next oil change.

    If you haven't already, you might purchase the ultimate Ferrari accessory, which is vinyl flooring for the garage.

    Leaks happen. Unless it's big or is hitting either the cam belts or exhaust, not a big deal. You can spend a lot of money chasing down every little leak that comes up. Sometimes they go away on their own, especially if you drive it regularly.
