Unhappy 999 Bip- oil leak

HI everyone - i'm new to the club and Ducati's after spending 6 years on jap bikes.
Had a problem last week- did 245 miles through the lakes last sunday- but stopped to fill up with fuel about 10 miles from home- discovered that oil had been leaking onto the fairing and obviously blowing onto the rear tyre .
ive stripped the fairing off the bike and i'm currently in the process off checking the air box/filters to see whether any oil has come up through the breathers- thats when i work out how too get the top off the air box?

is there two small air filters on either side?

anyway has anyone else had this problem- ive found the thread on the leaky oil coolers and i'll check with ducati uk if mine has been recalled- it currently has a KTM cooler fitted.

is it possible for the oil to come up through the breathers- or am i wasting my time looking.

Any help / advice would be appreciated.

Not a great start to Ducati ownership- but i'm not giving up yet.

thankyou degre7
