I overfilled the oil - not much, about 3/16 or 1/4 inch past the "FULL" divot on the dipstick. I was topping of on the road so I didn't have time to drain. When I got home, I expected to see leakage, but there was none. So in truth, how bad is bad and what would the problems be? Should I drain now, or let it be? | ||

windage....resistance to rotation caused by the rotating components coming in contact with the oil in the pan this can absorb huge amounts of power and in some instances can throw/move the oil in the pan away from the pick-up at the small over fill level you desribe you have nothing what so ever to fear | ||

I would spend money and change the oil unless you can manage to get some oil out, windage plus excessive oil pressure can cause breaks in the seals. |
