nah mate, no dippy
IF correct and my instinct is on the money, then what I think has happened, is that the filter has blocked so badly, giving fluid nowhere to go and simply built up in the pan.
In simple terms, no fluid cycling happening due to blocked filter.
Gonna drain and inspect today hopefully
I'm hoping that my GEARBOX issue is ALL being caused by a blocked filter, can honestly only hope
