You'll note that your comment about spinning the motor with the starter is precisely the first thing I did, weeks ago. ;-) i guess we're thinking alike.

All the liquid I'm seeing come out of the motor is oil. I've seen no indication of coolant in the oil. Peering into the expansion tank, I see no indication of oil in the coolant.

The couple of specs found in the oil filter are probably not horrible, given the nearly 150k miles on the motor. ??

I'm really hopeful I've dodged the big bullet here. But the are enough things concerning me that I'm probably going to take it slow over the winter.
