Is this normal? Could one quart have been left inside because of the off level jacking? What should I do?
thank you for your help.

The worse problem with your DIY is that it sounds like you got under the car with just a jack supporting it. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it as long as you change your oil more frequently than every 10,000 miles.
