    Hello Friends, I've problems with my 355 f1 from 1998, when I stop running it, my car pulls oil from the actuator (through the outlet pipe).

    How can I fix it?

    You may just be dealing with an over filled F1 pump reservoir. The proper level is actually on the low side of the dip stick. These reservoirs do not like to be over filled.

    +1 I filled mine to the line on the dipstick and that was too much, caused it to overflow.

    Is it dripping from the actuator itself? Is it the little black tube attached to the actuator? If so then it is a common issue with the F1 system.
    It isn't a big deal and seems to occur when the temperature drops to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or less with mine. I do not know of any fix for it.
    The black tube is a pressure relief tube and apparently when the temperature falls a spring or seal in contracting inside the unit allowing for some fluid to pass.
