It seems that you are using roman numbering for your highest
sectioning level. This needs more space for the section number than the
normal arabic numbering. You will have to adjust the space reserved
for the number, for example for \subsection:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\l@subsection}{\@dottedtocline{2}{1.5em}{3.3em}}
\makeatother
The default is 2.3em instead of 3.3em. Things work diffently for
chapter entries. BTW, 1.5em is the indentation of the entry.

That is the reason for the "Overfull \hbox" warning. (-:

This is the default for the highest sectioning level.
Happy TeXing!
