Road Warriors / Ducatisti.... 2022 Panigale V2 purchased new... a little more than 6,000 miles currently. No wheelies ever. No burn outs ever. Has never been dropped.
Noticed recently fluid under the moto the day after a short ride. Notified my Ducati dealer, and had it towed in for analysis. Dealer advised a full diagnostic was performed, and that there is no issue.
Arrived home from the dealer check-up (40 minute ride)....turned off the moto, and watched as fluid flowed profusely (please see accompanying video).

This just suddenly started happening after my most recent regular yearly maintenance. Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts please?

Looks like the red coolant. ..... dealer likely filled the coolant expansion bottle and it has no where to go other than out on the ground. When cold, the coolant expansion tank MUST have room to accept the coolant expansion, especially when hot just after a tide or some heavy throttle. Learn how to do all the basic maintenance yourself because the dealer kids are ignorant at best, but likely just idiots. Check the coolant bottle yourself when the bike is stone cold and make sure it is just at the minimum mark, no more.

I experienced as similar coolant leak after a day on the twisties. Took it to the dealer earlier today but they said it was just from overheating and was "normal". Nothing normal about coolant leaking from behind the fairing and spraying my left boot and bodywork after every ride so will check the expansion bottle when I have the time and get my angry stick out to wave around at the dealer next weekend. Looks like a cable-tie has also come loose so not sure if related until I have the time to open her up.
