    have an 04 360 spider with 8k miles. Smoke and burning smell appeared from engine bay this month. Under warranty, dealer (maranello) fixed ?seized bearing of release wheel of clutch and rebuilt clutch. 200 miles later - smoke happened again..car drives ok. Any thoughts/previous experience from anyone? taking car back to dealer this week..

    I have a good idea it may be this. I had a 360 f1 if yours is an f1 I would check the reservoir for the f1 fluid on rear rhs near tail light. If this is over full then it will when hot expand and drip out the breather hole at the top and then drip down onto the exhaust. Happened to me when doing hot laps on race track Ithought I had blown up the engine but all it was was an overfilled reservoir.
