Too much oil in my '94 Acura Integra	Sign In

I have a 1994 Acura Integra and two weeks ago my brother put too much oil in it and when I drove it it got hard and a lot of white smoke was coming out. Three of the spark plugs have oil inside and one is dry, my uncle said that's not a good sign.
I have no money and can't afford to replace the engine if needed.
What must I do?

Thank you,
Blessings!

The oil on the outside of the spark plug would be due to a leaking valve cover gasket which could have been aggravated but the overfilling but probably wasn't caused by it. Clean off all the oil, even if it means removing the spark plug and letting it go into the cylinder and burn it out the exhaust. Get the correct oil level and then drive it and see if any other problems show up. You might be OK.

Not a good sign. Probably was light blue smoke you saw but who knows now what got damaged. Most all cars can handle a quart higher or lower so it must have been excessive.

Not to be mean but your car doesn't care about your budget and yes this could be nasty expensive IMO,

If you fill up the valve cover with excess oil, it's going to burn that excess oil through a number of places and may even create some new oil leaks but most of that will disappear when the oil level is returned to normal and all the excess oil is burned off.
