My JD 755 when up to temperature is blowing a small amount of white smoke down a pipe that leads from the top of the engine casing and opens just at the end of the side panel covering the engine. It also seems to lose a little oil through it. I'm more qualified to operate on animals than engines. Does it need surgery????? If so how soon and what - any help appreciated as ever.

The smoke you are seeing is combustion gasses that leaks past the piston rings. A small amount is normal and is expected. A drip or two of oil is also ok. If the oil leakage gets excessive or the smoke gets excessive the it is time for a overhaul. If compression leaks too bad you will notice hard starting. As long as it starts normally and does not lose excessive oil, I wouldn't worry about it. ....
