[QUOTE="1200GXman, post: 1081372, member: 17884"] Camshaft seal is something that can start to leak with normal use and age. 1.1 liter overfill is a bit much. It will most likely start to smoke as it is burning off the extra oil that is possibly pushed through the tappet cover breather into the intake. Best bet is as soon as you can, drop out the oil and put in new oil to the correct mark. Or you can let the drain plug out until you are close to the max mark and just top up to the mark with the same oil that is currently in the car. I hope they used the correct specced oil for your engine. Especially now that they showed they don't even know the oil capacity of the engine. [/QUOTE]
