    Last couple of times out in the Enzo have resulted in water in the foot well. Not a great deal but enough to concern me. It is actually water and not any other fluid, it is clear in colour and not viscous at all. Car has been sent into Ferrari who say that it is most likely the air con outlet blocked and the water is escaping into the foot well. Anybody had a similar problem, or have any other ideas?

    In any case got into a bit of one upmanship with a LP640 the other day. He was running about 100m ahead of me and basically bullying cars around him with a "look at me attitude", getting up right behind them, revving the engine flashing his lights. Got behind him flashed my lights and you should have seen him, almost jumped out of his skin, then floored it.

    We were in a three lane road and I also floored it, 1.5 miles of cat and mouse one moment of seperating the men from the boys and the Enzo obliterated him, 3 miles later he was not even a dot on my rear view and well in his place. Got home and looked at the trip computer, got to 153 mph. The Enzo is the daddy!!

    AC fluid leaks have a peculiar smell to them. Is there an odor ?

    Perhaps it is a body seal somewhere near the door and A pillar.....and what you have is rain or wash water.

    Would also assume its water from the air con, am sure its nothing more serious....would loved to have seen the expression on the LP640 drivers face when he was blasted away by an Enzo.....

    Sounds like a plugged AC drain to me. It can also be a non insulated AC component that is condensing water and dripping down.

    Have this looked into. Condensation under the dash can cause cause mold and electrical problems.

    Remember water can travel up hill and round corners in a car so it can be hard to find
