    I just became a first time Ferrari owner a couple weeks ago and took the car out today for some driving. Went to a friends house to give him a ride and opened up the front bonnet and found winshield washer fluid collecting in the spare tire. I haven't used the wipers or the fluid at all since owning. Just wondering what might be going on since it would take some pressure to get it from the reservoir to the spare. There was a little spirited driving but nothing crazy and even so, I would think it would affect the washer fluid. Thoughts?

    It's probably either leaking at the cap, or at the small hose that goes to the pump.

    For what it's worth, I don't even put fluid in mine to begin with. It just sits there empty.

    Could also be the pump seal to the housing.

    This happens on my 328 GTB. I believe it comes from the mouth of the filler tube. I could be wrong.
