Before you do anything, check the dipstick.  Is it over filled with oil?
Then run a compression check on the engine.  Bad rings cause excessive
blowby out the breather tube.  Is it smoking out of the breather or out
of the tail pipe?  Is your fuel pump leaking, causing the crankcase to
fill up with gasoline?  Do you have bad gas?  
I hate to think you have a hole in a piston but the compression check
should find that.
