I have a craftsman riding mower with a 25 kohler engine lots of smoke coming from the front not low on oil why?

oil catcher that sets on side of motor and goes into the carb. throws oil into the carb just fills the breather filter with oil dumps all down the front just when the engine gets hot.its a 08 5000 craftsman and also the mower runs great mowes good I just got it on a trade in I have spent a few 100 on it already NEED HELP !|||sounds like the valves are sticking, this cause the oil to come out the carb.take the valve covers off and turn the motor by hand, see if they all move.should be 4 springs with a push rod. 2 on each side, make sure they all go in and out. u can check compression first to see if they are sticking.|||Also check that the oil cap is on tight, because if the oil cap isn't on tight, it allows air into the crankcase and will pressurize the crankcase causing it to throw oil out.|||b4 u look at the valves, be sure you haven't overfilled the crankcase
