    Check auto and make sure it's not in there.
    The radiator can sometimes do the trans oil cooler in side it and mix the red trans oil with water making a brown mess. stupid design if you ask me but I suppose it's cheaper to make it that way for them.
    Its not just a Holden problem fords do it to lol.
    If it is mixed you need to flush the transmition out replace the radiator and flush the motor out and the heater box I would take out the thermostat and use a little degreaser while flushing out the water side of things the trans should evaporate the left over water after a good flush I would also replace the trans oil filter just in case.
    One more thing check the motor oil just in Case it's not the radiator and it's a head gasket problem.
    I think the drop is coming from the rear of the trans where the tail shaft plugs in as water is thinner than oil.
    easy to see look for little rust drop spots on the tail shaft where it plugs in I would expect there to be some if it was leaking from there or even weeping water from the overflow line from the transmition.
