Had similar symptoms - needed to add about 100ml each month. However couldn't identify the leak. It lasted 4 or 5 year untill this year when my radiator finally broke and ATF mixed with coolant.
Take torch and check carefully the radiator for microleaks, that's can evaporate without dropping on the ground.
