You are trying to make a +- 9V regulated supply.  The transformer
secondaries are too high voltage for this, which will cause unnecessary
heating in the linear regulators.  The unregulated voltages will be 18 *
sqrt(2) = 25V, possibly higher depending on input line voltage and what load
the 18V is specified at.  25 - 9 = 16 volts drop on each regulator.  16V *
15mA = 240mW.  That should cause noticeable heating in a TO-5 package, but
should still be within tolerance.  It should certainly not be "very hot", so
something else is going on.  The capacitors shouldn't be dissipating any
power.  They are either being heated indirectly by the regulators, or
something is very seriously wrong.

Are you sure the capacitors are installed the right way?  If not they will
draw excessive current, get hot, and explode in a minute or so.  I'm serious
about this.  Don't put your face near this circuit if there is a chance the
capacitors are installed backwards.  They are drawn correctly on the
schematic.

Are you sure the load only draws 15mA?  Is that what it's supposed to draw
or what you've actually measured?
