Oil Leak On The Pipe?

I have a 98 KX125 that has recently starting leaking oil from the front of the pipe. It stops after warm up, but any idea what's causing it and how I can fix this? Thanks!

on start up the bike isnt running, just in idle, so excess fuel is chucked out thru the pipe, once it warms up its burning everything.
I would try turning up your idle speed

well maybe the gaskets in the pipe have gone bad, they get pretty hot so whe it warms up the pipe expands and the cylinder does a very tiny bit so that would make a better seal
