The man
I was pushmowing my lawn with my self-propelled push-mower and i was mowing for about an hour then stopped to take a break and check the gas and oil, first i opened the oil cap and what seemed to be smoke or steam was coming out of where the oil is stored. Is this normal for a older pushmower? It was bought brand new in 1990 and in 2001 i didnt use it until 2011. It runs perfectly. Is this normal or did it overheat.
Almost all the time when I mow smoke comes out of the exaust. And when i get done a little more smoke comes out. I just added oil because it needed to be added about a month ago. It was really struggling. 2 words. HIGH GRASS. And big giant hill.

If there is no smoke coming out of the exhaust while you are mowing it shouldn't be a problem. The smoke you seen while opening the cap was probably just heat from the motor burning a little oil. It is possible that you have a piston ring going bad but until you see it coming out the exhaust I wouldn't worry to much.
Edit to your addition: Then it probably is a piston ring gone bad. It could be a head gasket but most likely a ring is wore and oil is sneaking past the ring and being burned. It's not an easy fix either way unless you have really good mechanical background. Either time for a new one or take it to a small engine repair. Sorry for the bad news :( Good luck!

I'd go with recommendations by Consumer Reports. They just came out with their latest reviews of the top lawn mowers for this year and several Toro mowers are on top of the list. The Toro Super Bagger 20192 is one of their top "Recommended" mowers.
