Yes, drain or siphon your fluid till you get the proper level. Check transmission mounts and your flex disc. Rough idle could be, dirty/bad injector, motor mounts, glow plugs, fuel filters (probrably not, but cheap to replace). Valves way out of adjustment can also make for a rough idle, usually does not go away after warm up. Also check parking brake and make sure it is not stuck on (again, probrably not). In order of cheapest, here goes the list:

Clean injectors, there are threads explaining this procedure
Check all mounts engine and transmission
check glow plugs, there are threads explaining this too
Check valve adjustment, there are threads explaining this too

Good luck!!
