Just run a tcpdump on the F5 to see which side is initiating the RST packet, though it is almost certainly going to be your DB server:

 

tcpdump -nni 0.0 host 172.16.176.33

 

Connection refused likely means either the DB server isn't listening on 1521, or isn't allowing connections from your F5. This behavior would be indicated by the F5 sending a SYN packet, and the DB server responding with an immediate RST. You can post the output of the tcpdump here if you want the community to take a look.
