Answer
You have a carburetor problem, it is flooding very much. It could be a few things, float needle not seating correctly, a bad float filling with gas. You will need your local shop to do a carburetor rebuild. It's flooding so much the gas in the cylinder is passing by the rings and into your crankcase mixing with the oil. You will also need a oil change after too. Unless you have some experience in the small engine field this is best left to a repair shop....If you have some experience let me know and I'll do my best to help you rebuild it.....Tom
