Tapping - horizontal cylinder slapping, nothing major. Most of them have it but when service done it should have been resolved.
White liquid - if I think about the same think never had I seen a ducati with-out it in a stage of it's life. Again nothing major white stuff is there for you to see properly the oil level. It should be change once in a while. It looks like liquid smear as water probably sits on it. Give it a proper ride so it warms up and all water goes away. Around 30 miles non stop. It happens when engine is stationary for a longer period.

Clutch slips - two options
- one a case of adjusting the clutch lever and checking the clutch fluid level or if the slave cylinder is ok.
- two clutch is worn out.
