If you put too much oil in the engine, it raises the oil level high enough that the crankshaft touches it. The crankshaft will whip the oil, aerating it. This air in the oil will destroy your engine bearings. The bearings have a very thin layer of oil on them which keep the bearing and whatever the bearing is against from locking up. The air will remove the oil layer from the bearing and the bearing will then rub against whatever engine part it is used for. The bearing will then be shredded and metal parts will go about destroying your engine. Moral of the story, don't over fill your oil.

Engine oil over fill where will it leak?
If you have over filled your engine oil, it will not "leak" unless you have completely filled the engine with oil and is pouring out where you put it in. However overfilling even as much as little as 1 quart can lead to catostophic engine damage as the crankshaft will spin into the oil in the pan causing it to foam and cause oil circulation problems throughout the engine leading to overheating and engine siezing.
