High oil level may have foamed driving oil out of the engine into the intake in the foam form. This occured at substantial revolutions on the highway remember.


Drop engine oil level to say mid point on the dipstick marks and check it for a few days before looking further for trouble. If the engine oil seems thin or strange change it of course. Just make sure to terminate the refill at less than full.

As far as I am aware of the only way additional fluid levels in the engine base can rise would be through a bad o ring in the lift pump. Less so a chance in the fuel injection pump I would think as the fuel pressure is only about 15 psi where the oil pressure from the engine to the lubrication sump of the injection pumps should be higher.

I did not mention anti freeze as you should have noticed it fall off to overfill the engine that much.
