Oil leak after oil overfill 4qts over!!!

Asked by StupidMaintenanceGuy... Jun 27, 2019 at 08:18 PM about the 2007 Chevrolet Impala 3.5L LT FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2007 Chevy Impala 3.5 l..
I totally forgot to drain the old oil
from the oil pan when I "changed"
the oil 2 days ago. I've ran the car
about 25 miles since then and this
morning I noticed an oil stain on
the driveway. I realized what I had
done. If I do the oil change and
cahngr the filter once again, will it
continue leaking? Even if I buy a
stop leak? The car still turns on
but I havent moved it or tryed to
crank it up anymore. Good thing I
caught it if not my wife would
have left to work(about a 45
minute commute) ... Help?

Drain the oil and and put the correct amount in. No need to change the oil filter. I can't say if the leaks will stop or not as you may have blown out a seal or gasket.
