A <i>really </i>high level could block a vent hose in the oil tank but then you'd probably see the oil dripping out somewhere.
In wet sump engines a high level can cause stress to the internal oil-seals but I wouldn't have thought a dry sump setup like on the TDM would be vulnerable for a bit too much oil. Typically, it will burn off soon anyway![[Image: banana.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif)
