Actually I think it's opposite of that. Check the level with the motor running, when you shut off the engine there is a drain-back of fluid, and if you check it then it would appear to be very high. But it's been a lot of years since I had my automatic westy, so maybe I've got it wrong.

Bentley, the level goes up when the trans is warmed up and running
compared to cold and off.  Or am I misinterpreting the manual?  And
how does too much oil in the AT cause problems?

Thanks,
Edward
