Alfa Romeo 2008 - 147 -Selespeed -Gearbox failure message

[Rajat]

I am keeping an eye on the levels. It seems it is leaking through the cap pipe and lands near the front left tyre.. first time after topup was the most that came out... Now it like few drops from there. Wht does that mean? Doesnot seem normal. I am thinking might have over filled it above max(very unllikely)

That is the normal outcome of an over-filled Sele reservoir. It is quite a fluctuating system.

[bazzbazz]

Its either over filled OR the Accumulator Diaphragm is split and fluid is filling the Accumulator behind the  Diaphragm. When the system depressurizes overnight the extra fluid behind the diaphragm also dumps back into the system and overfills the reservoir.

If you are not overfilling it and filling it correctly as previously instructed them the Accumulator is worn out and needs replacing. Coincidentally this is also a cause of the system dropping to neutral, the original fault you posted about.
