Just at thought,sure its the oil filter,leaks from the slave cylinder,clutch pushrod,engine cover,can end up with a drip around the filter.

The filters leak if they are put on dry. You need to smear the seal with engine oil before fitting it.
Chances are, the seal will stay stuck to the cases when you remove the filter.
They don't need doing any tighter than hand tight when replacing them.

No not at all, I work in the oil industry and can assure you that the important thing is to get a good quality oil and then check the level after your first blat to check that all is ok.

I have an "oil" leak that I thought was the oil cooler joint. It manifests itself as a drip on the engine case centreline and then onto the exhaust.
I have installed a new oil cooler after cracking my one (doh!) but have found the drip is still there.
NOW...I have noticed that the fluid level in the clutch m/cyl has reduced noticeably since I topped it up approx 2 weeks ago!
I rekon you are right as I know my old 748 used to leak from there.

Oil filters for Ducati or should I say Twins are know to shake loose. My mechanic tightens them so tight, you need to stick a screw driver in there to get it out and some times that does'nt work. He does this because he has had atl east 9 drop oil on the track.

I change my oil every time I go on the track and fit a Jubilee Clip to the filter and then wire it to the frame. It saves having to over tighten it and the hassel of removing it later.

If you do change the filter/oil make sure you clean the pick-up filter as well
