sounds like bottom end damage.....stop riding, tear it down, and you might get away with bearings

You are positive it isn't coming from the engine skidplate right? How long has it been happening?

it is happening since my brother rode it last when it was low on oil....it burns it.....it happened once before i added oil and then it went away. i am going to take the skid plate off and see but i am pretty sure it is the motor

What kind of machine is it? If it is burning oil it may be a good time for a rebuild regardless.

Honda of Troy has ads in Dirt Wheels with pretty good prices on 400ex parts.
