Thanks to all who responded. Here's a summary: Oil has no apparent water
in it. Water has no apparent oil in it. Unknown if oil level is
increasing. Will check tonight. Will look for bubbles in radiator cap,
that would indicate exhaust gasses blowing into water jacket via bad
head gasket. Will also put a thermocouple on engine block with a known,
good temperature gauge to see what engine temp really is.
One possibility someone mentioned is that the water level needs to have
some room on top for pressurized gasses, so it may just be blowing off
whatever it needs to achieve that level.
Thanks, all. Appreciate the help. Jim
