Default Bike on swin-garm stand overflow?

So a guy I know said that if I keep my bike inside my house during the winter on a swing-arm stand that fluids would leak through the overflow valves? I really have no idea what hes talking about. My bike currently sits in my garage on a kickstand and nothing has leaked. Is this guy a moron?

Alright thank you, I was telling my roomates how I was gonna store it in their bedroom next year as a joke and they said theyd take it for a spin. Thing is they dont know how to use a clutch and I pointed that out and then the moron mentioned above said that he'd ride it and riding motorcycles is easy. I thought to myself "over my dead body you will". Im on a college campus btw.
