Its the transmission fluid cooler. On earlier cars it was built into the side of the coolant radiator.  :y

Edit. Beaten to it by 29 seconds.  ;D

Ah i see  :y Looks like that trans cooler lifts out with the rad then and also
looks like a different set up of pipes to the ac so won't lose any refrigerent.

Thought it was all good until i noticed a coolant drip from underneath again  :( Top sensor is weeping  >:( I did put some ptfe tape on the thread and made sure it was tight but i think the copper washer is the priblem . Cleaned it up and put some sealant on so hopefully that will do it  ::)
