Notices steam from under bonnet.
Appears to be water from behind the oil cooler pipe
Drips down onto exhaust.....

And now the expensive bit......

What is this... (best photos I could get)

One of the cylinder block core plugs has rusted through,the price of the part is virtually nowt,
the price of fitting could be a bit more though,it looks a bit of awkward to get at sensibly without removing a few bits.

 

[fitzys astra sri..]

can do it yourself remove exhaust flexi pipe and heat shield then manifold oil cooler just watch the head bolts they get rusted on but its an easy job.

Going to try Wondarweld first......

If that doesn't work might have to do it properly.....

Radweld sorted out a leaking core plug on an old Mk3 Cavalier I used to have. It was in a very awkward place, and loads of work was necessary to move things to access it.
