Hey yall!
Im a first time ducati owner, as I recently bought a 09' 1198 from a vendor. I didnt really have the time or tools to do a thorough look over before buying. It only had 9000 miles on it so i figured it was a steal. I get home, ride for a few days, then took the fairings off for an inspection and see there is some oil residue on some of the engine parts. I look in and around and found that there is some oil seeping out from the block. I havent witnessed any smoke coming from the engine, nor are there any leaks. I just want to know how severe this is, and should I get it checked out.
It also looks like something ruptured and spilled into the interior on the right side, maybe they left the coolant cap off before riding? Pics are attached.
The nearest ductati dealer is 178 miles away. Any advice helps!
