Found that oil only in overflow. Drained and cleaned and refilled w/ h2o. No more oil and none in expansion. At this point, I assume(not sure..and don't want to flame on anyone...yet), but I think the Firestone...errr oil change place(that I swore I would never use) may have started to refill oil there, caught the error and put it in the right place, but DID NOT even inform me of the error. Oil must have sat in the overflow the whole trip to Florida and back. Anyway....I am really appreciative of the response I have gotten from the list. You guys are the best.

P.S. Saga re my reaming of said repair shop will be forthcoming after some further diagnostics.
