Had my 2015 Ute in for 60k service yesterday, and was advised by the Mechanic (not Holden) they have identified a Transmission leak where the Coolant pipes exit the Radiator.

It appears the pipes have been chaffing together and have worn through. They gave me a number of photos showing fluid all over the Coolant pipes. Its a very small leak they are taking it to Holden for me this week, to claim under warranty.

Is this something anyone else has had happen?

Cheers

Update, Inspection yesterday by my Mechanic, after it was degreased and cleaned last week by them, more fluid has leaked over the Coolant Pipes. More photo's taken indicating either a leak or weeping, regardless why, fluid is escaping.

After Holden decided they couldn't look at it until mid afternoon, after it being booked in for 8.00am, they have inspected and deduced that the "Slight Sweating from RHS of the Timing Cover, washed down and retensioned bolts, reinspect in three weeks".

So the fun has begun...........
