    Good day All, just noticed a brown patch on the engine bay of my 2019 812 Superfast whilst topping up some brake fluid. Shared the photo of it to the dealership mechanic and he said it's not engine oil and not to worry but just wanted to double check if anyone else has experienced this and if any cause for concern. Also grateful if anyone could share how do I remove the patch. Thank you in advance

    I believe there is a thread in regards to this. Off the top of my head, something to do with a seal or rubber gasket needs to be replaced. Maybe someone could chime in on this with experience

    Not a 812 owner, but I believe this is the thread you are referencing

    I would try a can of spray brake cleaner to clean it.

    Brake cleaner can damage some painted or powder coated surfaces depending on the formulation though. I'd probably try something gentler first like Simple Green and a tooth brush.

    Maybe just some dish soap first Looks like an oil lead from the manifold.
