I brewed earlier today and everything went good, but this is the first time I've used a 1 piece s-trap style air lock When i put the airlock on i had vodka in itand it was level at the line that goes across the middle. i just looked and now about 6 hours later 2/3 to 3/4 of the fluid has been pushed toward the top.. Am i doing something wrong?
bubbler airlock ?

Yeah, the pressure will eventually build up enough that a little bit of co2 will escape around the S bend and up through the vodka.
I think my vodka is carbonated now because of all the co2 activity--
mine started bubbling once in a while
then once every few minutes
then once every minute
then once almost every second
its at about 1-2 seconds a bubble now -- 8 days since pitching the yeast
