If your rings were shot and the engine was running you would see billows of blue smoke coming out the pipes, as well as oil. If not running, then your fuel would end up in your sump inflating the amount of oil in there. (this does happen on all bikes only ridden around town, get it out on the highway to burn off the excess fuel then recheck your oil level.)
I'm wondering if you left your fuel tap on overnight (if it has one) if so, then you will have fuel running back out either the carbs or the boot that goes from the carb to the engine. Oil will leak if your valve seals are shot. it is possible that it was only fuel that was stained with a bit of oil.

1991 Ford Mustang 5.0 L HO, had been setting up for 10 yrs. cranked & ran good a few trips around the block, and then stopped idleing or running smooth under 2,000 RPM. Could it be the Mass Air censor?

Mass air flow would probably shut you down. You could clean Mass Air Flow Sensor and see what happens.Try scanning for codes then looking for vacuum leaks. Use a propane tank with a gauged nozzle to help look for vacuum leaks.
