Thanks to all of you that replied - I've got a good place to start now.

I will pull the oil pan and pressurize the cooling system to see which pistons are leaking.

Not sure what my next step will be. I usually do not like to use Barr's leak unless it's an emergency - I may have time to pull the head and replace the sleeve or o-ring that is leaking. But - If one sleeve/o-ring is bad it seems like the others can't be far behind, so if I'm going to do the work to fix one I should probably fix them all. Is this a safe bet?

I don't want to run it with coolant getting into the oil, but I did want to ask - worse case will I damage the bearings if I run it this way?

Maybe the best bet is to try Barr's leak and use the tractor, then schedule it for a rebuild over the summer once the plowing is done.
