It could be what is called wet stacking. If the engine was carboned up some from idle operation, or a rich mixture and short operation times never getting warmed up, when it is run a little harder, but in the morning the carbon can mix with condensed water vapor (what comes out of your car's tail pipe every day) and deposit itself on hood cloths and skin. There may be nothing wrong. It does not appear as smoke, just droplets of oil looking black that leave deposits of black spots that are difficult to remove. If the spots are there, and will rub off some what without being oily, that is likely to be the issue, which is no issue. But if he sells it to you, don't rip him off. He will be very irritated when seeing you work the tractor hard within a day or so. Working it hard is what it would need if wet stacking is the issue. If it is a real oil user, broken rings or a holed piston are most likely. A head gasket is possible as is a cracked head, but my opinion is to check for the wet stacking. Jim
