Any thoughts on that possibly being a symptom of much larger issues? Or did I maybe just burn some stuff off.
Easily answered: Run a cooling system pressure test; if it holds pressure for 15 min., there are no leaks, cracks, or other gremlins. Sudden drops in coolant and oil level are often the result of the systems not being properly filled in the first place.
