I have John Deere 130 mower with the Kohler cv23s engine. ,with 70 hrs on it. The last few cuttings this year it has started smoking blue oil smoke on start up. It does not matter it the engine is warm or cold,and clears up after a few minutes. It is not using any oil that I can tell and the air filter is new. Pulling the hose from the pvc valve I noticed oil drips out the hose. Any Ideas?
