Unlikely to have hurt the unit from being overfilled, now that you have the level correct, the excess will just burn off. I would suggest double-checking the air filter element and confirm it it dry and clean; excess oil may have entered the breather tube and soaked the filters.
Do you know if it was filled with SAE 10W-30? That is the recommended oil. If not sure, it's cheap enough to drain and refill correctly.
