I have a 2 year old 24hp. Sears Riding Mower, 48" Deck. When I engage the blades it blows out a large puff of grey smoke. When mowing it smells like it is burning oil. I do not smell this without the blades turning-extra load related. I do engage the blades at full throttle as recommended. Oil gets changed every 20 hours but I have noticed the level decreasing, so it is already using oil. Only about 60 hours on mower
1st thing, check your dipstick up inside the cap part of it and make sure the O'ring is there and in good condition.
2nd, make certain when you put it back on that you get it on straight and firmly seated. They will only seat one way properly the other way creates a leak into the crankcase and causes oil consumption and smoking. You should be able to tell if it has been improperly installed by an excessive amount of oily dirt accumulated around the threaded area of the cap
I think the old girl has a broke ring,
