make sure its actually oil and not a mixture of condensation and black carbon..does it feel oily or more watery? oil would usually get burned and cause a light blue colored smoke out the tailpipe

What causes oil to come out of your lawn mowers muffler?

The problem I had was oil and gas flowed out the muffler on my snapper 11 hp lawn tractor. To fix it I had to drain the oil and get a new plug. The issue that caused it was I needed a shut off valve in the gas line to stop the gas frome running back into the engine and eventually getting into the oil causing it to gush out the muffler with a lot of smoke. It is an easy fix and it now runs as smooth as new. I hope this helps you
