Default Anyone know limits on oil overfill on 2000 1.8T?

I just had the 15k mi service done on my 2000 1.8T, and it appears the dealer overfilled the oil a bit. On a cold engine, the oil line is about 1/4" above the bend in the dipstick. The first 2 scheduled services were done correctly, but I'm wondering if this amt of overfill is anything to be concerned about, or do I need to drain some out to the exact level it should be just below or right at the bend?

Thanks for any helpful input.

it should be fine, since you should check the oil level 5-10 minutes after a good run, not cold.
