My '76 w/727 trany has the sensor-type dipstick as well. I can't find an idiot light for it anywhere, but upon close inspection I could make out a 'full' line just above the oval slot at the tip of the dipstick where the sensor is located. Mine also leaks if I park driver's side low.
Hope this helps,

The seals around the shafts that are operated by the shift and kickdown levers are leaking.
The job isn't real hard, but you do have to pull the valve body to do it. That leak is common on every old Torqueflight, but unless it gets serious, you can mostly ignore it.
Thanks for the tip- It's mostly a nuisance leak and I just consider it an opportunity to introduce a quart of fresh fluid every couple of months. Now only if the dog house were a little easier to work with...
