Well had the tank pressure tested today at velocie (after i told them how to do it )...there a pin hole were a crack is forming on the top of the tank where it starts to bend if that makes sense ...
They have ordered me one (vor should be here weds so they say .)

Also asked them about a clutch cylinder overhaul kit as mine is starting to weep but they have stopped doing them but if you contact a brembo dealer they said they can still get them......

or should i buy a new cylinder

You can't get service kits for any of the road brembo gear anymore. You have to replace the whole unit.
Are you talking about the master cylinder (handlebar) or slave cylinder (engine casing)???
If it's the slave, Evoluzione do a good repair kit that doesn't leak.

[HUNT749]

Yes its the slave cylinder ..slight weep ,only a little but its enough...

The slave isn't Brembo. It's a Ducati part.
The Evo' pistons are pretty good bits of kit. £18 and a hour at most to fit. You can buy a replacement piston from Ducati but it'll cost about £25 and it'll leak again
