Hi Andrew,
I haven't the circuit but what you describe looks to be the correct capacitor(s).
Before you disconnect the wires from the Secondary side of the transformer, you could first try un-plugging the valves. If the transformer still ran hot, you could probably eliminate them from being at fault.
By disconnecting the Secondary side of the transformer, you are removing the load from it, without any load it should run cool. If it's still running hot then you are correct, it's time to go looking for a replacement.
Regards,
Roger.
