    Pretty sure the manual doesn't have a tranny cooler. Can you take a photo of the pipes? Could it be your ac pipes and your seeing condensation? I would gets radiator place to pressure test your cooling system. Could be nearly anything.

    Pressure test need urgently. Radiator place or your local service guy. Holden dealer can do it to.

    As above, look to replace the radiator and waterpump, new hoses and heater tap. All in one go is peace of mind.
