I have a 1996 John Deere STX 38 in great condition. It runs and idles good but when you start it up it blows some white smoke out of the exhaust. It clears up after a few seconds and idles well. Mows good then all of a sudden it starts losing power and thick white smoke dumps out of the exhaust. Sometimes it will then stall, other times the smoke goes away in 30 seconds and functions properly again. I added some oil because it was a little low and noticed some dripping from the exhaust when first starting. Basically sometimes it runs fine and other times it smokes. What do you think it is?
