| good old Ohlins - leak everytime.
if you have a puddle under the fork, dont ride it, just not worth it..
If your R is still under warranty then ducati assist will get it collected and taken to the nearest dealer, they'll then replace the whole fork as Ducati say the ohlins forks are NOT servicable items. down side is that you may well have to wait a while for ohlins to send one.
The tools, specs and details for refreshing ohlins forks are not available from ducati, so most dealers dont have the tools or know how to change the seals. - real frustration of mine this - Ducati say that even on the big service you DONT refurb the oil on ohlins model bikes, but the service costs and labour times are the same as the showa models!!??!!
So. rant over. if your local dealer has the tools, seals etc to change them, see if they will and bill ducati for it (you'll get your bike back sooner) chances are they wont and will prefer to fit a new fork leg, its easier for them.
good luck.
