Can't take the smoke

Hi. My TO-30 smokes out of everything. It started a couple years ago coughing smoke out of the tailpipe. It gradually increased to a steadier stream of light smoke with an occasional cough of heavier smoke. (all white smoke) Last year it started lightly smoking out of the breather pipe. This year it has started apparently leaking a little bit of oil around the exhaust manifold. You really can't see the leak but when the exhaust manifold heats up the surface of it smokes pretty good. Add it all up and it makes for a nice grey haze around my place (it's embaressing). Last year I brought it up on the board and got a lot of suggestions that it may be the head gasket but the is no mixing of oil and water and the temperature is fine. They also said the breather pipe smoke was problably something else. I'm no mechanic or I would have done somethig about this already but I just can't take it anymore! Where should I start looking. And please be detailed with your advice since I am a mechanical novice. The tractor runs fine other than all the smoke. Thanks in advance for any reply. VA.

I'd begin with a compression check to determine the condition of the ring and valves, and wheather or not the head or block has a crack permitting oil to get into a cylinder(s). Depending where a crack or faulty head gasket leaks, oil can leak without getting into the cooling system or water into the crankcase. A diagnostic compression check will provide much information to determine what the real problem is. Tough break, these are a tough dependable engine and usually fail from operator neglect over many years; you just happen to be the recepient of that neglect. Using multi-weight detergent oil instead of the recommended 30w non-detergent oil in summer is one form of neglect.
