Well as per the title, I set of home from work last Tuesday, and somewhere along the way my oil filter started leaking and I arrived home to find the back of my bike looking like this.

Yes, I'm very lucky I didn't end up under a bus or in the hospital or worse.

That filter was 8 months old!!!!!!! FFS.

I had noticed the rear brake had stopped doing anything and what with the rear pads being 2 days old I did find that a bit odd and was going to have a look as soon as I got home, took me a nano second to see the problem.

Ohoh, well, congrats lucky boy!

That could have ended extreme badly for you.
Am glad it went out like this.

WoW, good to km\now you're Okay.
now, lot's of degreaser to keep bike clean.
after my first oil/filter change(OEM Ducati oil filter) at 620miles, it started leaking at 900miles, did tighten the filter but still leaking, re-tighten, keep leaking, Did replace the filter with a new Hiflo filter and no more leaks up to 2,650 miles.

Lucky escape! You'll have to replace the rear pads because they'll soak up the oil and won't clean.
