Do you have any coolant in your engine at all? Could be your radiator which cools the coolant, engine oil and transmission oil has a crack between the different sections and is mixing some of the coolant into the engine. In the engine, it just turns to steam and dissapates. After a quick drive, pull the dip stick and see if there is water vapor on it. This is the only thing I can think of. Seems that a pressure test will not show a problem as long as all caps are tight. Another thing to do is pressure test the coolant system with the oil cap off. Just my thoughts and no specific knoledge to say that this is the case.
