Guys, I posted over a week ago about "automatic gearbox" appearing on display, Now I have found atf leak and am in process of getting that sorted. Thing is it has not come up on the display since, now would it only tell you about the promblem once or should it keep reminding you till the problem is sorted. The car drives fine. No noise from gearbox or clunky changes, no fault codes and everything does as it should, Any suggestions please?

[Darth Loo-knee]

Would have thought it would keep coming up on your MID until the problem is sorted......

[bighed]

Thats what I thought but It hasnt Daz  :-/

[Darth Loo-knee]

Have you checked the ATF? was it at the correct height?
Where is the leak from that you have found?

[bighed]

One of the seals on gearbox according to a good friend of mine who is a mechanic, albeit a ford one, but hey. No ones perfect

[bighed]

N its still leakin engine oil from somewhere  

[Darth Loo-knee]

Is he any good though?

You know yourself by reading on the Forum what lots of so called Mechanics have told people about their Omega's....

[bighed]

Nah we cleaned it all done about three days earlier mate

[hotel21]

so....
Despite finding a leaking gearbox seal, its at the correct level then?
Cant really be both, I would have thought, unless its been topped up.....

[bighed]

No didnt check level. Tbh didnt know you could. I didnt really spend much time down their myself ( Had my white dancin suit on)  
Only thought there was a top up point??

[Darth Loo-knee]

John you text me asking how to do it and I replied to you, telling you how.

If you have a leak it will need topping up. If you don't have a gearbox leak you need to check the level as you have had the warning up on your MID

[bighed]

I do have a gearbox leak daz, Not been able to do anything about it until now as just moved house, been using the astra, my main concern is that its not coming back up on the display as it should

[Darth Loo-knee]

I would still check the level though mate, if you have a leak the level will have dropped you dont want to cause more probs before fixing the actual problem when you get time

[bighed]

Right. How do I check level, never done it before, Im aware there is a filling point as you have told me mate. Can I see level via that??
 

[Darth Loo-knee]

There is a how too in the maintence section.... but I actually lifted my whole car so it was level, using axle stands and ramps.
You need to have the car running first before you start, then undo the level plug which is on the drivers side of the gearbox, if no oil comes out it needs filling up until it starts coming out.
That is it really
