Too Much Oil?
so a few days ago i put about 3 quarts in thinking i had little under 2. but right after i put it in i took the car for a spin and its got terrible accel. so i parked it in my garage thinking it was my clutch starting to slip.
today i was gonna move the car out of the garage and there is bluish smoke spewing everywhere on startup. im gonna drain some oil out tomorrow but i was wondering what yall might think as to if there is more going on than that. and also when i popped the hood this morning after the smoke i saw oil around the filler cap and down the passenger side of the engine.

I meant H sorry. I'm about to drain it. Tried looking for any oil spots but didn't find any. Also the rear main seal looks to be in good shape so I may be lucky.
