Thanks again for the reply. No, it is definitely normal. In the two years I've had it there has never been that kind of discharge, I mean it will produce smoke like a 1930's locomotive going uphill. Also, it was ~9 quarts in 170 miles (sorry, the 85 miles I reported earlier was one way). What baffles em the most is the lack of evidence underneath as well as the way it still has lots of power and stays cool. Perhaps I dislodged a section of the fill pipe? I don't know but, I'll keep digging.
