The oil coming from the steering column is steering oil getting past the upper steering valve seal..I just did one at the winery..The main shaft was bad where the seal contacts the shaft..I thought I could get by with having my machinist turn that area down then make a sleeve for the shaft..Well , that didn't work...A new shaft from New Holland is 800 bucks..There is an aftermarket shaft available for under 400..I had to go that way..On the generator side of the engine is the power steering pump.. there is a cap about 1-1/2" diameter..Fill the power steering there to the top..
As far as your engine oil consumption..Did we not see the cloud of blue smoke coming from the exhaust?? If it's a diesel....Take a hint from an old fart..If the engine gets bored, resleeve it to original size because of cylinder erosion that makes holes in the cylinder walls....A real problem with diesel tractors..I've seen blocks get bored then almost immediatly start leaking coolant into the crankcase..That's not a good thing...Keep yer chin up..Your luck isn't as bad as mine..I'm so lucky , If I died , they'd bury someone else......
