Tranny lube?

Hey,
After noting that my '85 SPG (142k on the clock) was grinding into 5th gear (unless I babied it, which I'm still doing), I decided to change the fluid. It smelled like gear oil, but had the consistency of 10-30 motor oil. There was some metallic crud on the drain plug, nothing too out of the ordinary. I refilled it with Castrol GTX 20W-50. Now I hear that I should change it again in a few weeks.
My question is this: I had an output seal that was leaking a bit (more like moderate seepage) that quit once I began driving the car, and it's still not leaking. The car sat for 2 years. What would I be best advised to put in the tranny when I change the oil again in a few weeks? After reading some stuff, I'm thinking about going with 10W-30 Mobil 1, but will this give me ungodly leaks? I'm 17 and I really can't afford to buy a tranny for this wonderful car. Any help would be appreciated.
