Hahaha, that's classic. What kind of tractor? Starting that easily, I will say International... freakin bulletproof.

My truck was loosing oil like that to no smoke no smell just missing oil. Last week I found that one of my valve stem seals was leaking. I don't know how to check for it I just happened to notice.

compression test can tell you what cylinder.

Leak down test can tell you if it's a head gasket, valve seal, or rings:

bubbles in the radiator = headgasket

hissing at the oil cap or dipstick tube = rings

hissing in the TB = intake valve seal

hissing at the exhaust pipe = exhaust valve seal
