oil leaking but no loss-don't get it.

Greetings. I'm leaking oil from my 1991 900T. Weird thing is there is absolutely no loss of engine oil or tranny fluid. Three questions:
1. The tranny dip stick is the "bolt" that I have to unscrew with an 18mm extender. If there's fluid among the second or top line, the dang thing is full, right?
2. Could the leak be residual oil from the previous owner who blew a head gasket and got an exceptional amount of oil and gunk all underneath the engine? What I mean is, could that oil just liquify and drip off when the engine is hot?
3. The leak started after an indy filled the tranny with 700 weight oil. Could this be the culprit and should I go back to 5W-30?
Thanks.
