Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to check this out further when I get back from vacation in a couple of weeks. I was both ticked to have it happen, but hopeful it was something simple like you've mentioned. I'm going to top off the coolant, tighten the cap, let it warm up through a couple of fan cycles then cool down and see how everything behaves. I'll check for any leaks as it warms up of course.
One other note I don't think I mentioned is I saw oil trails down the front of my nice clean head. I'm sure I got the valve cover screws tight enough and am pretty sure the gasket is in the groove securely (never have liked that seal design) but I'll tighten them down one more time to make sure. Let ya know what I find.
