How bad is this...
Last Saturday I replaced my rear main seal and valve cover gaskets in an attempt stop the hemmoraging. It was already a long day and I was exhausted. The car sat Saturday and Sunday I added the oil (while having a few beers with my neighbor) and I drove to work Monday.
Last night I stopped for gas and see a pretty bad drip. Great. So I assume I screwed up the pan seal (I was VERY carefull on the RMS) and it's leaking like a sieve. I check the oil to make sure I have enough to get home and and WHOA! I'm WAY over filled.
I get home and check the trash can and realize I used not one but TWO 5qt containers of oil along with the single quart bottles.
So I've driven 100miles with an extra 5 qts of oil.
I'm draining and refilling tonight but my question is what damage may I have done? And could my massive leak be the result of the extra oil?
Am I the only idiot to overfill his jeep?
