Hi, On my Stretfighter 848 i find a oil leak ((( In this moment no waranty ((( Can tell my what to do, how big problem? how repair? Thanks
Looks like head gasket failure which means a top-end strip down and new gaskets I'm afraid. I wasn't aware of a problem with head gaskets on the 848 engine. Its been a warranty issue on some KTMs. A good Ducati mechanic and a proper investigation looks called for..
How think, can i ride, so that oil very little leak??? Then more leak at that time replace head gasket???
If it was mine, I'd avoid riding it until I'd had it checked out. It could be one of several causes. The head could be incorrectly torqued; it could have a faulty head or just a faulty gasket and there could be coolant getting into the oil. Best to get it looked at as soon as you can. Bike looks very clean and new. Is it a warranty claim? By the way, now would be a good time to get some ACF50 on those exhaust manifold studs before they go from furry to brown..
Also, there look to be oil smears higher up on the head behind the coolant hose. Could be just fingerprints but have you checked there's not a leak from the valve cover?
