Suggest first changing the oil and filter. Is this oil or gas coming out the back, take a whiff and see. Do compression or leak down test of the cylinders. After testing each cylinder add a little motor oil to the cylinder, crank engine and test again. Bad rings, scored cylinder should pickup compression with the addition of oil to seal them. If no change, might be valve guides or seals.
