2.1 too much oil poor running, & over reving.

Hi there, I've been looking at a Caravelle with 2.1 WBX engine, auto with 99k on the clock, and there appears to be way too much oil in the engine as indicated on the dipstick.

sounds like the clutch isn't disengaging when depressing the pedal, could be the release bearing sticking/leaking and or your loosing fluid pressure or air in the system.
