2003 Boxster oil overfilled

I just bought this jewel 10 days ago (50,000 miles) and about 5 days ago I noticed a CEL (cylinders misfiring) and the digital and dipstick reading were to the top. I drained 2.5 quarters of oil until finally got it reading in between the marks. I'm noticing too much smoke at startup for like 40 seconds and dissipates. It will smoke very bad at next startup if it sits for more than 30 minutes. Reading all the posts here I think I only need to replace the oil separator. Hopefully the engine did not get stuck for excess of oil. Do you think I will need to do something else? I will appreciate any advise from you guys. This is my first Porsche and this one really I love it. The dealer doesn't know when and where was the oil last changed. I run this engine maybe like 300 miles before I noticed this problem. Do you think I need to do more than replace the separator?. The engine missfire a bit some times but still very strong. Help will be very appreciated, Thank you
