What does that mean? And where in the heads? Externally, or under the valve covers, or what?

how does the oil in the crank case look? it could be just some condensation. clean it up and see if it comes back. are u losing water from the cooling system?

sounds like u may have it figured out. the oil pressure must be enough to hold the water out while running and a little is getting to the oil while not running but not enough to show in the oil. u must not be losing to much water.
