Hey, My tecumseh powersport 6.5 Hp recently started producting white smoke, I have found out that this is from burning oil? Upon looking at the engine, I saw that two of the mounting bolts were loose perhaps creating too much vibration and movement from the engine...could this be the cause of the white smoke?

Thanks

Is there gas in the oil? This would be caused by a bad float valve letting gas seep into the crankcase.How old is this motor? How is it running,any loss of power?
