I know you said you've checked the oil level, but I'm going to through this out for discussion anyway. Some B&S engines with gravity feed gas tanks will continue to drip gas thru the carb due to a sticky needle valve (I don't know if this is the correct terminolgy but bear with me) this happens when the engine is not running, the carb fills with gas and the gas overflows into the crankcase causing the oil level to increase and this mixture is sucked up and burned causing a smoke screen. I had this happen with a DR mower with 10hp B&S engine. the cure was to install a cutoff valve below the gas tank
