Just bought 5L of oil.... engine running, in neutral, filler plug out, still pouring out of hole!! ( quickly back in to avoid losing too much again) any ideas?

must have been over full or pump isnt circulating oil ie no drive to box or other failure internal

Pump failure did cross my mind. Thats not good is it? Am i looking at yet another box? Or can it be repaired?

You need to do the 'through the gears' and level check as one job with the engine left running.

Btw, oil still pouring out.

Just did that. It seems the oil is not pumping round the gearbox.

Indeed.

it could be drive plate again
pump can be replaced by standing auto box on its rear end bell housing up undoing the bolts and removing pump housing is sandwiched between box and bell housing, to remove pump from housing you slacken all the bolts 7/16 or 11mm spanner,but leave a few threads in then hit the bolts to push pump out its sealed by a large o ring

Well... flex plate is cracked but still in place i.e. not in bits in the housing. Would that cause the issue? A bit worrying that the plate is only 8 months old!

it might br cracked around the boss on the crank and not actually driving, my first thing would be to ensure tc sits further into bell housing than drive plate sits back from engine so as theres 1 or 2mm that the tc has to be bought forward to meet plate when box is bolted together
