Most of the new kawasaki engines even the older ones blow a little oil at start up once in a while,,its normal..some oil gets by as they sit.
Mine does it maybe once a week,,,soon as its warm it goes away..also that engine needs to get at least 75-100 hours on it for the rings to be broke in properly.

As long as it clears up within 10 seconds I wouldn’t worry about it.

Also,,that rattle you are talking about could very well be the PTO clutch,,mine makes a rattle and it sounds like its coming from the crank at the top.
just get under it while its running,,be very careful and take a rubber mallet handle or short piece of wood and hold the PTO clutch away or push it against its stop....see if the noise goes away.
You can cut a small piece of teflon or rubber and zip tie where it hits if it bothers you.

Yeah,,if the problem gets worse you have a pretty good warranty on that motor,,but I would wait 100 hours first.
