Could you tell where the water came from? You use water in cooling system?

I'll let my daughter start it tomorrow morning - today she noticed there was some vapour from the exhaust on startup, so I guess the lid's gotta come off the engine ASAP...
Funnily enough, I couldn't find the drip under the car at all - something very transient that just dried up to the touch after a few hours. I'm putting regular tap water in for now as it's still leaking, but will go to distilled when it's all sealed. There was a fair bit of limescale behind the water pump when it came off in September!
