Be sure to check the two "drains" located at the very top of the engine
compartment, near the base of the windshield.  There's one at each back
corner.  About a month after I first got my Verde, I discovered these love to
fill up with leaves, etc. giving you two little water storage tanks.  Another
area I found was beneath the air cleaner box.  A friend who is "between Milano
Verdes" showed this to me.  Just unclip and remove the alloy air box.  They
tend to rub through the inside fender paint there.  I steel wooled the area to
bare metal, sprayed some black paint over it, and applied a small piece of
duct tape to the underside of the air box at the rub area.  These aren't major
structural areas, but it's nice to know they're not rusting.
