Oil checking

Do you check yours hot or cold?

I have a 748s and the manual with bike says cold and the haynes says to get up to operating temp, whos right then i have been checking it cold as i guess ducati should know best.

I also get a condensation a lot on the sight glass and sometimes a creamy colured gunge that takes about 50 miles to clear. All previous bikes had a dipstick. much easier to check!!

The oil thorugh the site glass now looks dark in colour through the site glass and is only golden if a torch is shone through it
Does the glass darken with time and heat etc?
