"After running my 3 cyl Volvo

"After running my 3 cyl Volvo Penta 2020 diesel under load for 20 mins at over 3000 rpm, a plume of white smoke belched fro the exhaust. The visual audio warning lights did not flash or sound. I quickly throttled back to idle. Raw water was still pumping out of the exhaust and everything seemed to go back to normal. I motored for a further 30 mins at 2000 rpm and with no further problems. I had overfilled the engine with oil last season and stupidly forgot to remove excess this season. I suspect the crank case breather has allowed oil to escape into the engine before I blew a seal or joint. Can anyone concur with my findings. Will there be any lasting damamge to the engine?"
