Our strimmer is pumping out oil from the breather pipe has anyone got
any idea what is causing this. the oil has been changed and the level is
correct.

That is usually caused by overfilling the oil but then you would also get
smoke from the exhaust.
Or damage inside the engine ... badly worn bores but that starts little and
builds up over time/use, or damaged/broken piston rings or valve seals gone
but with all those you also usually get smoke from exhaust too. Strange that
it was not around until you did an oil change?
