Welcome and congrats, beautiful bike! [thumbsup]

The best place to get answers about leaks and other mechanical issues is the Tech (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=4.0) forum.

Do you think it is an oil leak?  Can you post a close-up of the area the leak is coming from?  Is your bike under warranty?

Good luck getting everything sorted out.

Welcome. I've had the pleasure of visiting Bahrain a few times, pretty exciting.
+1 on posting the oil leak question in Tech. There you'll find all possible reasons and the ways to fix them.

Welcome!

Curiosity strikes, so I must ask.  What is the MSRP of the 696 in Bahrain?

Cheers,
Sterling

Im pretty sure that the engine oil level is too high. Had the same problem in my 696.
