Default Too much oil, leaks, what do I do now.

So I put too much faith in the oil sensor. I put a quart of oil in and that didn't make the low oil sensor go away so I put another in. Yeah I wasn't really thinking that one out. Anyways the sensor then has the word "sensor" on the light thus now showing me that my oil level sensor went. So I drive to my mechanics. About a mile away from my destination does that oil finally come out.

I get there but they are closed so I have to wait until tomorrow. My question to you is what kind of damage should I be expecting and how should these problems be fixed?

I wouldn't drive it with 2 extra quarts of oil any more. As far as damage, I would simply drain the oil, replace the sensor, put the correct amount of oil back in and cross your fingers that you have not damaged anything.
