Stick was red with fluid when I first pulled it out so I wiped it and replaced, cappucino on removing again. I did not think of checking this earlier.
So I guess it is a new radiator not head gasket ....plus change of all fluids etc.
If so, I am pleased to have found the cause ....
Any advice welcome.

yes ! drain the auto fluid and replace ASAP . then go for a run for an hour , preferably up hills don't consider fuel consumption , you need to get the gearbox temperature over 100 C to boil off any remaining water in the gearbox . do this a few times over a period of a week until the gearbox oil is bright red again .
