hmmm now shes leaking what looks like windex, do they put windex in the bikes at all? i don't see a reason for windshield washer fluid? then again this is a ducati maybe it does?

That's most likely coolant.

now you're just pulling our legs and having fun.   You're not serious!? 

This is getting very old.

what was wrong with the valve covers? they are covered by the fairing and your bike was to few miles for them to be damaged unless something crawled in there and put a hole in them.

He probably means the valve cover gaskets.  That'd be standard for a 6k.

It's probably NOS.

It shouldn't be leaking.  That said, if you haven't already ridden it since you picked it up, take the bike out and warm it up.  Let it run for a bit.  Then let it cool down.  Sometimes slight coolant leaks will heal themselves, particularly if your hoses are old. 

I don't know if they need to take of the radiator to do a 6k on a 749, so I'm not sure if they undid any of your hoses.  Either way, check that the hoses are all on properly and that the hose clamps (to the extent there are any) are tight. 

BTW, if it's leaking coolant, DO NOT RIDE IT AROUND THE BLOCK to test it out.  If you get coolant on your rear wheel while you're moving, you're make the beast with two backsed.
