That's a scary thought. I wonder how much that lessened the life of the motor.
That's really scary, I'm having similar fears with my bike. 3rd owner, keep finding small oil leaks, 9000 miles and it seems to be coming from the head gasket. Hopefully its just what the ducati guys keep saying about some of the crappy hose clamps used from the factory not doing well with the COLD to HOT as hell that this weather has been giving.
Glorious riding yesterday... Got back to the house and tore down the bike. Waiting for the chain/sprockets to come in this week, then oil change, then clean up the bike a little. A lot of road grime -- then she'll be good to go for the season
