Hey everyone,
      I just pulled my bike out getting it ready for my BRC I went to get the tires checked.  When I stopped at the tire pump and my bike started leaking oil out of a tube.  I think it was the oil excess tube but I am not sure, but I am dire need of help because I am not sure if I should ride it tomorrow.

There is no 'oil excess tube' on a Ducati.

Where is the tube located on the bike?

It was on the left front it was pointing straight down.  I have a M620.

That is the drain for the airbox.

Did you just change your oil, or is the oil over full?

I think it is because the oil is overfull.  I haven't ridden it in a while.

If the oil is overfull there will be more frothing and mist in the cases and will enter the breather and end up in the airbox.

It's not a huge issue if it's only slightly over full. If it's way over you might try to get some out of there.

Where does it register in the sight glass on the right side?

When the bike is running it is frothing in the left window.  But I can not see the oil in the right window.  Is it something for me to worry about I have never had this problem and I have changed my own oil in it before in the past.

Which "left" window? The oil sight glass in on the rhs...

With the motor turned off and the bike standing upright on its tyres (not leaning on the side stand) where does the oil level show in the sight glass?

No not at all I just pulled it out of storage and put oil in it and changed the air filter about 3 weeks ago.

Did you check the oil in the sight glass after "filling with the required amount of oil" ?

No oil level in sight glass is A Bad Thing. I'd be worried about that.
