Not necessarily. If the oil filler cap wasn't on tight it could have just vibrated off. If the cap is not on the filler tube it will blow oil out of the tube with a good running engine. I would refill the oil, tighten the cap, clean up the oil spill and try the mower again to see what happens. Chances are everything will be fine.
