Too much oil is a very bad thing. 1/2 a quart might be alright but I would still drain it. It will eventually make it back into your intake if you have too much and just make a mess of everything.

With half a quart probably not a whole lot. Some oil could be making it through the PVC and back into your intake. It might just get a little dirtier. But half a quart I wouldn't worry too much. If it was more you could get into some serious problems.

When the engine oil is to full it will turn into almost a bubble bath type deal. I know i had this happen before. the oil bubbles were coming out the valve cover nipple right into my intake. Also the oil is bubbled all inside = could destory the engine. Just drain the oil and put the correct amount back in.
