could be anything. if it's not engine oil, or some kind of engine treatment designed to add to your oil , it's more then likely a form of contamination.

Can adding 1 quart oil too much cause the oil pressure to drop and the engine to knock?

Adding too much oil will cause your engine to burn off the excessive oil which causes a lot of carbon buildup in your engine and a lot of blue smoke out your tailpipe. If the oil level is high enough, it can contact the crankshaft and foam up. If the oil foams it can damage the engine.

What is blowby in an Internal Combustion engine and what can happen if it increases above normal level?

Blowby is the result of the piston rings not sealing properly against the cylinder walls any more allowing exhaust gasses to enter the crank case. This results in reduced compression which translates into reduced performance and fuel economy. It also results in more frequent oil changes as it leads to increased oil contamination. Left unchecked it can further reduce overall engine life due to contamination of the oil. Repairing an engine with excessive blowby will generally require a complete rebuild along with machine work on the engine block.
