Lawn mower question

[Ddan]

Eastman Industries has taken the lawn mower to a new level (literally). The Hover Mower is designed to hover slightly above the ground on a cushion of air, making it more maneuverable, extremely light, easy to propel and able to reach previously inaccessible places like extreme inclines, wet grounds, and tight, difficult to get at places.

What would cause oil to come out of the muffler?

I last used the mower a couple weeks ago and all was fine. Today I go to start it as always and it doesn't start right away like normal. I pull it a couple more times and I see oil dripping out of the muffler. It finally starts and then dies. Starts again and sputters a bit as the oil burns off. After a couple mins it runs just fine, like nothing ever happened.

The mower is a Briggs and Stratton 5hp 4 cycle gasoline engine from Yard Machines...

mower wheelies will cause that.

I used to wheelie my Dad's skid-steer mower.
