That may be a possibility, or that the universal gear oil supplied by the shop wasn't up to snuff. I put about 4-5oz into the case on level ground, then let the extra drain out(the reason for me ignoring the smoking at the time).

The key on the plastic gear fluid drain plug stripped out during removal so I used a little pipe wrap tape on the very base of the threads after cleaning up the gasket mating surface with a file. Maybe a piece of this tape somehow got inside?

Another project on the list...
Thanks again for the ideas.
