Mine would drip old chain lube from under the front sprocket housing.  I
took the cover off and found lots of built up grease.  When the engine
got hot enough, the sludge would liquefy and drip down, looking like an
oil leak.

Also, check all the oil pan and crankcase bolts and make sure they are
tight.
