im about to go check compressioin but when i check the oil level it goes half way up the dipstick everytime. What does this mean? When i went to my this morning about a quart of oil was on the ground but i can't find where it is leaking from.

thanks

what happens when someone puts in too much oil?

If they are really overfilled they will loose power and smoke real bad on accelleration. Doesn't usually cause any damage. Drain and refill it.

 

u might have a bad head gasket and if your oil gets to high it will start busting seals and stuff because the oil pressure will get high

 

The motor's never shot until you shoot it.

I would definately change the oil, and be sure to keep tabs on how much drains out. If it seems excessive, then you've found your problem.
