New to the Jeep Cult!

Hey all,
so I just bought my first Jeep, 92 Cherokee 2wd. It’s got 186,500 on it. I’m wondering if you guys have any advice as to what I should look into replacing or checking out right away. I checked my fluids and noticed the oil was a little low, so I added a quart and ran the engine and noticed some light smoke coming out the exhaust. Kinda freaked me out because I didn’t notice the smoke before. So I drained some oil out from underneath. I’m worried I fk*d up my Jeep and I just got it! :/ any advice? Thanks in advance!

You haven't damaged anything. You're good. It's best not to overfill an engine, but it's not fatal. It's really bad to overfill a transmission.
