Thanks guys for all the input. I will sleep a bit better tonight. One sound piece of advice seems to be to check the sump screen for copper from the bearings during the next few months which I plan to do.
BTW: I wish I were using the cruise control when this happened as I would be less aggravated. I have never used it nor do I plan to. Maybe this was its way of coming to life and getting back at me for being ignored for years...
