Yup, saw this one coming!!!

there is a reset procedure for the cluster for people that just refuse to listen. Grant from Platinum (and member here)explained it to me once, but that was quite some time ago and I don't remember what it was, call your Dealer and maybe they will run it down for you. If the reset procedure doesn't correct the problems with the Pod then a replacement Pod can cure the problems for about $7K, - or enough to buy a good used tow truck for next time.

The "fluid" on the passenger side sounds like it is coming from the Power Steering/Hydraulic Shock resovouir which is behind the CF panel.

Ouch YellowMurci! How did you run down your battery? I thought all the lights go out when the key is pulled, and the radio shuts down after awhile. How often do you drive your car?

I am a moron extrodinaire - i do this all the time i am not patient - i use the car a few times a week but i think i turned the interior light on to look for something and it didnt turn off on its own - my radio doesnt seem to shut off either i have to have my guys check that one

damn if i am going to pay 7k for a cluster i would rather buy the tow truck and leave it here - i dont know if i can get the lambo dealer to tell me how to reset the cluster - they have the head of why tell when they can charge - do you recommend asking anyone else? Roy is the expert on everything are you reading this buddy?

Harry,

ask you local Dealer first for the reset instructions...if they refuse to "help" you...let the WORLD know... ...the Dealers that get World Wide BAD Page Ranking generally change their tune or go out of business..

If your Dealer refuses to be helpful I'm sure Grant will try to help you out, he has been a very helpful person in the past and a valuable asset to Both Lamborghini and the Lamborghini Communities!!!

The reset operation is actually in the LamboList.com Archives from 03 or 04 if you want to do a search.

First I second the comment on Grant, just give him a call. He is most helpful -- wish he was close by!

Anyway on the oil leak. It's possible somebody overfilled the reservoir. It has to be almost two inches from the top because oil is pumped back into it and withdrawn as the car is raised and lowered. If it’s too full oil will bleed out through the small air hole in the top screw cap as you go around a turn and the oil sloshes upwards. Also may want to tighten the return oil hose clamp gong in at the bottom - tough it is unlikely that is loose in a new car.
