Over-filled crankcase

Over-filled crankcase

I just picked up a 1986 fz600 from a friend. He over-filled the crankcase with oil. He said he only ran it for about 1 minute before he noticed oil leaking from the rear of the engine. I drained and refilled to the proper level, but the engine smokes badly now. What sort of damage was done?
