Could be a weep from the radiator side /end caps. They are known to split and weep rather than pour out the contents.
good luck,

Any steam from the exhaust?

Dont know anything about scooby engines, but the water is either being lost in the cooling system itself (you say its all dry) or in the engine.

The Fixer

Alan, if you cant see any obvious leaks then usually its the headgasket that has gone. I ran a Vito van for 6 months continually topping it up until it died. Long term, its best to sort it early as it works out more expensive when it completely dies
