if you put to much oil in your car and drive it the exess oil has got to go somewhere and most of the time that meens a busted gasket so i recomend draining some of the oil out first.

Too much oil is just as bad a too little oil. The crankshaft will make contact with the excess oil and whip it into a froth. This froth will be made up of oil and air. Air is a horrible lubricant and will cause damage the rings and bearings from a lack of sufficient lubrication. Drain the excess oil out immediately.
