If you have kept the bike serviced at a Ducati dealer, right intervals etc etc you can pay to extend the warranty another year ... dealer should be able to help with this.
Not cheap, but, if something major went down it would be cheap insurance.
As for the seals it depends which dealer you go to. Those that have the skills and tools to replace the seals will, those who have not got the tools etc will ask Ducati to replace the legs.
Real McCoy, how come you got new forks ? Did Ducati agree to the relacement and what dealer did you use.
basicly bike was still in warranty and i showed ducati Leeds the problem, they said we dont touch the seals but we can replace the forks under warranty (which they did)
Apparently............ the seals on the Ohlins require regular movement to keep the seal oiled so it doesn't dry out.
I'm told the Ohlins are so "friction-less" the oil is an essential element required to maintain a seal between stanchion and leg. If left without "pumping" the front end (to keep the leg / seal wet) at regular intervals, leaking can result.
Sometimes, when re-used, the fork seal will sort itself out and re-seal.
The visble oil line may just be a dirt line but a close monitoring over a few miles should answer the question.
If you are in any doubt at all and worried about it, don't ride it and contact your local dealer to get some advice.
