[AT] Slight Oil Leak

[RonMyers at wildblue.net]

If your tractor is an overhead valve engine then look to see if the valve
cover might be your problem. Other than that I would think that an oil
ring might be stuck and causing the trouble. If this is correct the oil
will be coming from only one of the exhaust ports.
