Never fill it above the full mark on the dipstick. As the oil get hot and expands it could be pushed out through the crankcase vent into the air filter area. Check your air filter for oil also.

When the engine is cold the metal cylinder is contracted and the piston rings seal properly. After the engine heats up the cylinder expands and allows oil to "blow by" the piston rings into the combustion chamber. Sounds to me as if you need to replace the mower.

Keep adding oil and check it every time you use your mower. If you let it run dry your motor will fry. Start saving money now for another mower. I usually buy them used for a fraction of the price. The used mower shop usually gives me a little trade in credit on my dead mower. You are burning oil. Keep adding oil and check it every time you use your mower.
