Anyone experience this? Where's it all going?

Dan, I did the same thing first time around and ended up taking some back out. Now I put in about 1 1/2 qts, then start it for a few minutes make sure filter and drain bolts are not leaking. Then I top it off.
I think it was Spud who said to just add 1.7 qts and it will be right. I believe it does ebb and flow from tranny to engine so in the window it appears to rise and fall making some of us early on think that gas or water was getting in our oil.
This explains the raise and fall from tranny to engine on the blog a few weeks back:
