A good friend and Duc mechanic has told me that it is common with some year models. Something about the new robots putting the bare minimum of sealant. I am no expert but when I brought him the 5200 mile Monster my girlfriend had just scored the first place he looked was at that and it already had the leak. Says the fix is just to redo it and don't be shy with the proper Ducati sealant but be careful not to block any passages.
EDIT: Forgot to include that hers is a 2001 as well.
