[Ducati] Kevin'n Summer Trip (PS)

[Ducman]

I'd start with removing the clutch and clutch basket and run the bike  
so I could observe what was happening. As for riding it home, if it  
was only weeping or misting oil maybe but if it was an all out leak I  
wouldn't. Did you check the breather hose for flow, maybe a clog in  
there from the crimping, as I remember it that rubber hose retains  
mishapes for some time. You could run the bike with the oil fill cap  
off, if the leaking stops your closer to a solution. Good luck Kevin.
