my 98 was overfilled with oil which became abundantly clear during an autocross in a high speed left turn. Never seen so much smoke. Repair shop said I was about a quart overfilled. Since then I've had some minor smoke from time to time in turns in autocrosses but would rather have a puff of smoke than risk starving the engine. that being said, blowing oil into the exhaust will ruin your cats at $1400 each. your safest bet would be to bring it to a shop and have them service it, they only charged me for a half hour labor to remove a quart of oil and verify all the levels were good.
