Question one front end puddles

haven't had time to either drive or work on Ms Triss for a couple of weeks now, partly because it's been cold but mostly because we're fixing to move. My wife was offered a position in Toronto (2 hrs away) and has accepted. so, paint and clean, clean and paint, the house is finally on the market - hurray!

Anyway, finally got the car up on jacks and she seems to be leaking all around the oil pan. I thought I had sealed it well but, maybe not. Anyway, before I start pulling things, I checked the oil and it appears that it is overfilled. - the oil goes to about 1/2 an inch above the top fill line. DCO :wall: Anyway, I'll drain it down some but, could that be causing these symptoms? any thoughts?

jp,
what kind of breather set up do you have? one half inch does seem to be quite a bit overfull, i am sure it wouldn't help.
