Hi. I had the same problem and found it was the header tank. Do you gave the dark grey plastic header tank? If so these leak from the joint. Best to get an alloy one of a later scoob. Start your engine and watch under the bonnet to see were it is coming from. Cheers. Mark.

If not the above, then it's a split up-pipe, normally on the flexi-joint.
The steam is the condensation in the pipe burning off and escaping.
the up-pipe is underneath the turbo and connects the turbo to the header/manifolds
start the car from cold, then stare down by the turbo. Within a few minutes you should see the steam rising.
