If the lathe has sat for any period of time, seals can dry out and cause leaks. I would just use the lathe and maybe a little heat and oil will help seal them up some. For the sight glass, at least on my Grizzly and a few other mfgs, the sight glass is the drain plug for changing the oil. Not sure about yours but it could just need to be pulled and cleaned.
