Okay guys, back on topic here are some updates...
1. Disassembled items to get right at the problem area for inspection and you can clearly see the external leak starts exactly where the crack meets the seam and there is not evidence of coolant above this.
2. Pulled the spark plug and it had oil on there area where it seats, the tip was dry but I am not used to see some oil where it seats but let me know if this is common with these motors. No evidence of coolant here.
3. I drained the oil and here is the link to the video of when it drained...interested to here what you see? It looked dirty compared to what I am used to but I don't know or can't tell if there is coolant mixed in there.
Interested to get feedback from this wise council on the below two items:
1. How can I tell if the coolant is mixed in the oil, please see the youtube video I attached and share you observations?
2. I would think a leakdown test would be helpful to see if this cylinder has excessive leakage, is there any way for me to get it to TDC without ordering and waiting for the ducati crankshaft tool?
