Hmmm, you may have the early one. I think they changed in '88. If I'm
right, it's on the front of the gearbox, pointing slightly upward
toward the radiator, and is a recessed square drive, same as the sump
plug. It is NOT a level plug, only a filler. If you suspect the level
is low, you should drain it completely and then add 2 litres of engine
oil.

It depends which box the OP has. The above is for the BE 1/5 as
fitted to the 1500 (XU5J engine)

According to my sources the 1100 (XW7 engine) has either the BH 3/4 or
BH 3/5 box and that uses a common oil supply the engine.

Exactly. That's one of the XW (Pug 104) series features.

Yes quite true. So when did the TU engine come into production? That
used the MA box and that had the filler on the end. The only other
1100 engine was the old Simca type, and I don't recall seeing them
fitted to a 205.

The TU engine and MA gearbox were introduced in 1988.

Definitely 2 litres. All the BE1 & BE3 gearboxes have 2 litres. They
just changed from engine oil to BV oil around 1988 on the BE1s.
