I have 24k on mine now and I've noticed something with this oil leak;

Around 3 - 4k after a new filter is put in, the seal starts to leak.  But only with Ducati branded filters.

Sooo, it seems the quality of the rubber is in question OR Ducati has come up with a great change oil reminder.  This has happened consistently over the last 5 or 6 oil changes.  It's like clockwork, ducati filter leaks at about 3.5k

My suggestion, switch.  I did and no more leaks each time.  From now on, no more Ducati filters
