Set the mower on level ground and check the oil level, Two much oil will cause it to smoke while on inclines.If oil is being pushed out of the oil fill tube then you are getting positive pressure built up in the crankcase instead of negitive pressure. This will most likely be caused by a blown head gasket. George

Try this, while the motor is running rev it up as high as it will go if possible with air cleaner off then cover the carb hole with your hand, this will stall the mower be patient and do this over and over 5 times this should pull out any debree blocking the gas flow if this doesn't rectify the problem remove the float bowl if equiped and clean the bowls chamber replace , if it is the type of carb without float bowl remove the tank and carb disassemble clean reassemble and start/run.
SOURCE: Riding mower engine loud and smoking.
take it to a reputable shop and have them check it over - courage engines had a problem when they first came out - the bolts in the cover plate were not torqued properly and when they come loose, the torque of the engine turning will crack the block - this should be a warranty condition if the block is cracked - just make sure the shop is a kohler warranty station

SOURCE: I have a Sears Craftsman mower with Tecumseh, major oil leak
On many Tecumseh engines, there is a crankcase breather located under the flywheel. It has a cork gasket to seal the top plate of the breather. Either the rubber breather housing is cracked, or the cork gasket needs replaced.
