Yeah, i cleaned the dipstick when i removed it and put it back again to get an accurate reading.
Engine was cooled down and oil reading was taken 4 hours later

Yeah... too much oil will blow your seals. In extreame cases, it may blow your head gasket, and start mixing with your coolant. I accidentially put 4 quarts of oil in my engine, and thought I'd be fine, but I think it actually led to my front main seal breaking. It's easy to fix. You just unscrew the oil thing under your car and let a little over a cup of oil out and you'll be fine.
