Ok this is most common do to overfilling the oil. I would change the oil and do not overfill. After it's running awhile if it still smokes and drips oil out the exhaust then it's an issue with faulty piston rings . Most common is the oil Is over full. These are the next steps . Hoped this helped.Positive feedback and bonuses greatly appreciated.
