If I overfill my 1.7 with oil, by accident, will it throw it out etc....? What will happen? as I have developed an oil leak that is dropping some oil on the manifold/s. Only done a mile in it since overfill....Thoughts?

How much excess? A lot can ruin major parts in the engine. Blown seals are common. You need to remove the excess from the drain before you run it again.
