well what is it???

I posted this note on the 2-cycle site by mistake so If It looks familiar thats where you saw It.The problem Is that white smoke Is coming out of the Exhaust under load and at Idle.When I checked the air cleaner the base that the filter sits on had a layer of oil On It so Is it possible oil can be blowing back thru the carb and why?THe oil level Is at the right level but It takes a little longer for the engine to start.If anybody has any Ideas on what Is going on I would appreciate the Info Thanks,Tom

the only way oil would be blowing back through is through the breather. it could be the breather is bad/worn out and needs to be replaced and that would be causing the smoke because white smoke is oil
