If the smoke doesn't smell of two-stroke it points to the drive side oil going.

If you strip it down to change the oil seal check the plate it sits in , Indian GP's used an alloy plate which warps , better off searching for a steel plate ( or bearing flange as they are called on Scoot Resto site ) :)

I find that the best plates are the metal ones from MB.
