John Deere L100 riding mower. Burns oil and has to be refilled after every mowing. But there is NO smoke coming out of the engine. When the oil cap is opened though, I do see smoke coming out of it.
This is not a head gasket issue right? If so, I would see smoke coming out of the engine?
Worn piston rings? Would or wouldn't there be smoke if so?
Help me troubleshoot this!

And look at the exterior of the engine all over, under & etc.
Then we can talk about other problems. Air cooled engines typically use more oil during hot weather, and when the oil viscosity is too thin for conditions

Colored (red, blue) porcelain is dye from fuel and nothing to worry about. When you know if you are burning or leaking, you can look closer in the right area.
