    Oil Overfill HELP!!!

    I had my 2011 Polo 77TSI serviced on the 21st of Jan. Stupidly, I did not check the oil level until now and noticed that the oil level is way past maximum(checked it warm, 30 min after short 10 min drive). Oil on dipping stick shows its about 10mm above the bend and 20mm above the last dotted line. The manual states it should not exceed the maximum point. Its not clear what exactly the max point is as the manual shows a different type of dipping stick but from what i gather I think it exceeds the very maximum point by 10mm. I haven't had any issues for the past month and i've done 1200k's since. Should I be concerned about this? Could that level do any damage? Should I raise this with my dealer? I noticed they also overfilled my coolant reservoir too. Pics below. Thanks

    Coolant:
