When i changed my oil the last time i overfilled it by about half a quart, this happend because much to my rage i spilled some so i overcompensated too much when i tried to put in a little over 4 quarts. The engine has been run for a few weeks like this, yesterday while the engine was warmed up i checked my oil and was shocked at how overfilled it was, i was wondering will this hurt anything? Thanks for the help

If you overfilled (depends how much) your motor with oil my advice to you is drain it and start over again it. Yes is can cause engine damage when you overfill the crankcase with oil, it'll foam up and cause problems like throw a rod through your block or worse a seized motor.
