Noticed that there was some oil in the (Ducati CF) underpan after I took the bike for a short ride today. After closer inspection, I noticed that there is a small oil leak originating somewhere under the bottom of the left side cover, near where the shifter pedal and drive connect to.. Didn't have a chance to investigate this further - bike was hot and I burnt my fingers trying to see where the leak starts..
I'm planning to take it to Riverside Ducati for a check-up ASAP but was wondering if anyone had any idea as to what can be causing this.
I owned the bike for less then a month and didn't ride it much with bad weather and all. PO took a great care of it with records to prove it. Bike currently has less then 3k miles on it (it's a '99). Is this normal for Ducs to leak oil, the way Italian cars do? Or do I have a sign of a potentially serious issue here?
Thanks in advance!
