Sounds like ya found the dipstick then? If not it's at your right heel, in the plate that's bolted to the side of the transmission. You might be able to take off the plate on the bottom of the bellhousing and spray some brake cleaner up in there, but as the others say an oiled clutch disk isn't good and probably should be replaced.
My brother and I pulled the engine outta his 550 today to put in the new crankshaft, and found that his clutch disc is well oiled as well. Not sure where it's coming from yet, but we'll be sure to find out before reassembly.

FYI: I think the transmission should hold somewhere around 8-9 gallons. That's about what out 165 holds and it should be similar in size to that. Not sure what out 285 holds, but I'm sure its a couple more gallons.
Also, make sure it's a hydraulic/transmission fluid, not just hydraulic oil. Massey's aren't as fussy as some other makes, but I've heard plenty of guys say that the massey's just don't seem quite right when using anything other than MF's Perma-Tran III fluid in their multi-power tractors. We've never used anything but, so I can't say. We use the same oil in our Oliver's hydraulic systems as well, just for convenience sake.
