Make sure the breather hose that goes into the back of the air cleaner base has not came off. Unlike a mower engine the valve portion of that system is a rubber parachute valve located in the back of the air filter cover mounted to the carb

You might have run it with no oil

Running it with no oil may have overheated the head and blew the gasket

It might have chewed out the oil seal

Running with low oil might have overheated the engine so now the muffler or carb is too loose.

I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers
