1 year old snapper self proppelled 6.7 engine...starts right up and runs!

Im getting significant oil splatter on the deck looks like from exhaust muffler, plus some occasional blue gray smoke

Check the oil level. If it is overfilled I'm guessing you have gas in the oil which is causing your problem. Dump the oil, rebuild the carb with a new float needle and seat and you should be good to go.
