Default Question about smoking exhaust

Ok, I changed the oil again and put in 3/4th of a quart and its at the right level, and I rev it now and it doesnt bog down as bad if hardly at all, and then I started giving it gas to see if it still smoked and it only smokes after I let off the gas and it goes back to idling and it only smokes for about 2 seconds then stops, So basicly I give it gas it doesnt smoke, let off the gas and right when it returns to idling it starts to smoke a little bit. Any ideas whats wrong? Or is this normal?

What color is the smoke?Are you on level ground when you check the oil?Are you checking the oil when the motor is hot or cold?Are you sure is stops smoking when you give it gas or you just cant see the smoke when you are giving it gas?

the color of the smoke is greyish. The ground is level, Its in my garage lol and the garage is level. I checked the oil when the motor was cold. and im pretty sure it stops smoking when I give it gas, Maybe I just cantt see it. I could see it on the video when I took the video of it yestarday before I did all this.

I dont have the .... like... pre-filter or what ever that goes around my K&N filter on. and I checked the plug on the site that has wether it needs to be rejetted or not and it was good. so idk... My carb leaks a little gas when I start it, it pours out the spout at the bottom I think, I might look at it later. Dont really know.. I changed hte oil to the right level and it runs a little better.
