It depedns how much, a little extra over the normal, few hundred mL, will just cause a bit of extra drag on the crank and reduce output, lots and lots will cause the sump oil pressure to rise and blow out oil seals, in extreme cases it will literally fire oil out of a seal.

Just ramp it and drain the excess out.

smoke loads and loads and loads!

you'd need to replace all your oil seals too...

undo the bolt in the oils sump (19mm i think) and let it drain out
