I'm a mechanic.
I did this once, thankfully realised before it left work.
Just had to engine wash it and it was all good.
Now check every filter for a gasket and every housing for one too no matter what.

Wrenching with friend, he was supposed to tighten the inlet manifold bolts up, he only put them in, not even finger tight.
When I finally saw they weren't in right and I tightened them up properly I had constant stalling problems on idle because the the air / fuel ratio must have been changed by the ECU to match the shitty vacuum pressure or some shit, had to disconnect the battery for a while to get it working again.
Do everything yourself.
You didn't overfill, you just installed the pump wrong
