When I started the car, a cloud of white smoke came out of the exhaust pipe. So I think that is the smoke. From now on, I will be real careful putting fluid in my car.
I doubt that was the excess oil that made that white puff of smoke, unless you're talking about a HUGE cloud. Generally oil smoke is black, not white, and it would smell like burning oil.

I would expect that you'd see the effects of an overfill more during hard driving.
