Question Engine oil overfill N55

Hi all,

Got a N55 EWG and currently have a minor oil leak from my sump gasket.

On my idrive when the oil level was showing half I filled 1ltr -meaning that I overfilled by 0.5ltr if measure was showing correctly.

Will that cause any issues at all?

Originally thought that would be fine since I have the leak, but have driven around 500miles and level is still showing max.

Getting a bit worried while reading posts about overfilling and how dangerous it can be.

Picture for reference of the level prior to filling 1ltr.

Any thoughts?

TIA

If you're worried, just drain some off.

How can you drain some of the oil from the engine?

Two ways:
1) messy - undo the drain plug for a second or two.
2) Buy an electric oil extractor from Halfords/Amazon. They suck the oil out via the dipstick tube.
