Would having too much oil...
Would having too much oil result in an oil leak? My car is about an 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch past the full mark on the dipstick, and i was just wondering if having a little bit too much oil would cause a leak. I am experiencing periodic puddles and i have checked all the common stuff (intake and rear main) and they seem to be allright. Are there any sensors on the drivers side of the car that are common to spring a leak (oil pressure sensor? or anything else). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

That small amount over won't cause a problem. You could go 1/2qt over on these engines and be safe. Higher than that, and you could cause leaks, although mostly you'd probably just burn that extra real quick as it would get sucked through the PCV system.
