I changed the worn out blade on my push mower, but oil leaked out when i had it tipped up. Now when I start it, oil spews from muffler, and get a lot of blue smoke. someone told me I got oil where it should not be and to let it sit.

Is there something I can do to clean this out?

Check the oil level in the engine is ok, remove the air filter and run the machine until the smoke eventually stops, if the air filter is a paper element it will have to be replaced, if it if foam wash it out in soapy water
