Did you put in the pellets Holden recommend when you flushed the system? If so it could be that.
MY RIDE
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Intake manifold gaskets. The standard plastic gaskets are rubbish and start to degrade allowing oil into the coolant
its neither the head gasket or inlet lower or upper gasket coz the car drives smooth and no over heating at all + no loss of coolant.... i don't top up coolant at all....
Im just speaking from my personal experience here, but I had oil getting into my coolant for quite a while before I changed the my LIM gaskets. One of the LIM gaskets had started to degrade but the Car still ran good, no noticeable performance loss, no overheating, and only a very slight coolant top up of around a liter every few months. Its a common thing to fail so it might be worth thinking about once you have ruled out all the easier to check possibilities. Good luck with fixing it tho
getting Kustom
I had the exact same issue, no over heating etc and rare coolant top ups, for about 6 months. But was still getting small amounts of oil into the coolant, ripped it apart to find a couple of the galleries clogged with sludge. New inlet manifold gaskets and it was perfect.
Customize your life.
Mines in need of the same. i got one of them awesome inlet manifold gaskets off "mace". will outlast the car easy enough.
