ok.. IM having oil leak issues... its coming from the back of the motor somewhere its not really bad but..... i checked the engine and got an incorrect oil measurement.. i put a quart in.. is a quart over enough to cause damage.. and the leak?

For about $7.50 you can drain and replace with the proper amount and not worry. Or, suck some out the dip stick tube.

 

Sorry, I don't know if 1qt XS will hurt.

And take some lightweight sandpaper to your dipstick, it makes it easier to read.

Too much oil in your motor can cause seals/gaskets to go once you hit the gas hard enough. I dont know how much oil you need to put in in order to accomplish this tho, the one time I tried (I was mad at a mustang I had) I kept popping the half assed "seal" around the dipstick tube since the sleeve has snapped and it was only held in place by the dipstick.

if your oil is over filled it can also get frothy and not cool properly... but i doubt 1 qt would do to much damage

it only leaks when you drive it and it doesnt burn much.. just enough to make it smell....
