A two stroke drips oil out the exhaust. It is the way two strokes mark their territory.
Like others said, try it with a new sparkplug.

That is not unusual. Is the only problem that it won't idle? If you attempt to ride it, can you open it up and have it run strong?
Did these problems just start happening, or did you get the bike in this condition?
If the bike used to run OK and suddenly started having issues I would be suspicious that it has lost compression. A compression test would be a good idea, or if it has been a long time since the top end was rebuilt I would just bite the bullet and refresh it.
If the compression is Ok then it is highly likely that the carburetor is either gummed up or simply not jetted right. Both are likely.
Any engine with a gravity fed fuel system can easily have the carburetor gummed up. What happens is that gas in the float bowl will evaporate, or at least most of it does. There is a little stuff left over that doesn't evaporate. On a fuel system fed by a fuel pump you get one bowl full and it is done. On a gravity fed system you can distill the entire gas tank down to a float bowl puddle of goop. This goop likes to clog jets, and it is the smaller jets (idle) that get gooped up the easiest.
If this is the problem, then removing the carburetor, complete disassembly (especially important to remove all the jets) and cleaning will usually solve the problem. Poking a fine wire through the jets may be required to clean out any hardened goop.
If your bike will eventually start running OK once it has been warmed up it might just be an issue of proper jetting. It amazes me how many bikes are just plain jetted wrong from the factory. Of the 6 bikes I have owned, only one had decent jetting when I got it. Two of my bikes, a Yamaha ttr-125 and a Honda CRF250x, were so incredibly cold blooded that it was painful to keep them running until they warmed up. Start, run 5 seconds, die. Repeat about 100 times.
In both cases, I bought a jetting kit from JD jetting and they transformed into easy starting machines.
Bottom line: Cange the spark plug, do a compression test, clean the carb.
