Lots of smoke, oil dripping on ground
Well, the headline pretty much sums it up.
The dripping takes place at the rear of the engine - close to the linkage. 'Oil' here refers to thin dark grey fluid. Smoke generation is abnormal and is greyish, not blueish.
So, is the gasket between the engine casings gone? Or are there two separate leaks (crank seal & case gasket)?

EDIT: I just discovered that while replacing the cylinder I had mixed the two vent fittings. I had installed the one with smaller orifice to the transmission side, and it was completely clogged.
