I'm thinking that a quick snapshot or three from your phone may help us understand what you are referring to.

No safety overfill devices that I am aware of -

1. What does your engine dipstick indicate ?

2. Where did you fill - the rubber stopper in the rocker cover is the correct spot :-)

does any one know

That would be the breather hose from the rocker cover. You must have had the rocker cover full for it to go into the breather - sounds like you definitely have filled it too quick! How did you fill it - with a power hose setup?

No filled it with a funnel only,wasn't fast at all but funnel sealed the oil hole well
