I feel pretty confident that the filter was the culprit. when I pulled the filter back off it had more oil in it than I put in it when I spun it on the first time. My guess is that from sitting overnight in oil, maybe the valve in the filter loosened up and started working. One of those freak things that only happens one in a million. (Always Me) I'm taking every ones advice and taking it in for its first service. Just in case it does have a problem down the road due to this. Again I can't say enough nice things about this board.
