Default Oil & Smoke

I have a 3165 with just over 700 Hourso n it.
It usually takes about 90 minutes to mow the lawn.
Second time using it this year it started smoking like crazy– Blowing out of the exhaust – going up hills.
Upon further investigation, oil was being sucked or pushed down the carburetor through the little rubber tube inside the air filter housing. I check the oil again and it is not over full.
Also, after checking
The air filter had not been changed since last season. Had 27 hours on it and was filthy. Put in a new one and I am still having the same problem.
Anybody have any ideas? Sure like this little guy and would like to keep it for many more years. Thanks Jeff
