I accidentally ovefilled my  6-cylinder Outback with too much oil--probably about a quart too much. Will that do any harm? Do I need to drain it off (a pain for me to do)?

If it was mine I would drain the oil out. To much oil can cause all kinds of issues that are a lot more of a pain than just draining out a quart of oil. IMO anyways.
