Default 2003 TXT Whitish smoke after adding oil

Newbie here. I bought a 2003 TXT a few months back. It is lifted and primarily used in a desert environment around my trailer in Yuma.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I never checked the oil. The cart ran awesome. It was used by my teenage girls for hours at time. One day, they returned from a ride and it sounded like the valves were making noise. The cart still ran great, just a little noisier than I was used to. I pulled the dipstick and no oil registered on the stick. I got sick to stomach and thought there was permanent damage. I added one quart, and it barely registered. I added another half qt and it registered perfect. Then after driving, white/light blue smoke began spewing out the exhaust. The cart still runs good, just a lot of smoke.

I have since learned that the cart only holds 1.6 qts. Is this true. If so, how could I have added 1.5.

Also, not sure if this is related. Can anyone tell me if the two small vacuum/vent lines coming off the carb connect to anything. Not sure if I knocked them off, but they are just hanging straight down, not connected to anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

The two lines are vents so the connect to nothing on one end , smoke wise the oil is overfull , you need to take the triangle cover off by the clutch thats the filter and drain port and drain the oil and clean the screen , also make sure the seal is still good then add 1.5 quarts of oil and mark your dipstick , lifted carts change the angle of the engine so the dipstick will always be incorrect until you mark it where it should be with a file.

Thanks for help. I bought a tune up kit online that includes a new filter and o-ring. I'll do that and see how it goes.
