    So my 360 is getting the 430 muffler on we just waiting on some brackets from Ferrari to come in ... my cars been sitting there for bout a week now “ it always had a slight f1 line leak which was going to be fixed when it goes back in for the cs tcu upgrade .. I check the car everyday .. went past as usual bout 6:30pm all good .. went to go to work bout 12:30am ..had a decent trail of f1 fluid on the ground Was like wtf is going on checked the f1 fluid was full .. f1 pump primed up for bout 10-12 seconds sounded healthy .. selected gears like a champ no dramas .. I can’t work out how it’s just dumped it at random car hasn’t been started or driven .. it’s been isolated for a week there’s no muffler on it very strange anyone got any idea about this

    It is possible that the accumulator finally unloaded and over flowed the reservoir. as soon as you open the door and prime the pump, the level drops. You can loosen the bleed valve and and dump the accumulator then check the fluid to make sure it is not too full. That would be my guess going by your description.
    The attached pictures didn't come up for me, so I took a shot in the dark.

    Looks like overflow when system depressurises..... have you checked the level following the proper procedure or just filled it on the dipstick?
