I have oil coming out of one of my headers I was told my buggy needed 3 and a half quarts of oil so that's what I put in turns out it only needs 3. So it was over filled for about 30 minutes of run time. Do I need a rebuild now or will this go away with time? And It was a half a quart over filled now it's right where it needs to be... I really hope a rebuild isn't what I need after it was just rebuilt this spring.

I would put a new set of plugs in it and check the compression to see how even it is. That would be the quick health check you can do.
