If you only added a little bit more oil you should be fine. Too much oil causing something called crankslap when means the oil level is so high that the crank slaps it when it turns. This can lead to a noticable decrease in performance. WAY too much oil and you risk damaging the seals. I suggest you jack the car up and drain some of the oil until it's at an appropriate level. Yes it's messy but that's what you get for being lazy <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>

Trust me if you saw some of the things that go on at places like that you would never take your car there again.
