Too Much Oil???

I was changing my oil the other day and when i was filling back up i wasnt paying attention i put about a half to 3/4 of a quart too much of oil. I was wondering what i should do about this. Can I just leave it in there or do i need to remove it. Please let me know because i dont want to harm my engine because of this. Thanks

You'll want to drain any excess oil, you could blow out an oil seal if you don't.Don't know what if any other harm might be caused by excess oil.
