I am getting antifreeze in the oil pan. I will not use it much. Probably like you said just go down the lane a few times.
Been there, done this with our M tractor. PULL THE OIL PAN OFF in the shop and lay a piece of cardboard on the floor and watch where the antifreeze is coming from .DONT clean any thing off inside the crankcase at first and see if it leaves a clean spot or a clean trail/ milky trail/of antifreeze on the cast iron inside the crankcase like ours did. Our M was VERY VERY slowly dripping coolant out of a camshaft bearing area to which I determined to be a CRACK in the block between the camshaft oil galley and the water jacket. I was told it happens more often when a tractor was used with a loader that stressed the cast iron block.
