How do I fix a double push cistern that continues to release water?

My double push cistern continues to release water after being pressed. The closure mechanism seems to stay open so water is constantly draining into the toilet bowl. If the buttons are pressed again after the initial release it sometimes rights the problem and the water is stored properly in the cistern without draining into the toilet bowl. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

try silicone lubricant spray on the moving parts some silicone furniture polish work. Mines the opposit its a roca but doesn't flush easy so did lubrication each time its hard to flush, lasts about 2 months before repeating.
