My 2002 Linear had the same symptoms. The only clue was that I would occasionally get a little fluid or evaporite on the top of the trans under the thermo/sensor/rear heater hose location. Drove me nuts for a long time as I resealed and replaced all the connections mentioned above and still the same. Just drove it as the fluid loss was so minimal until it got worse (like 2 years later). FINALLY I quick popped the hood on a hot day after a long drive and the front heater hose near the connection was "peeing" a tiny stream towards the rear of the engine. Pulled the hose and a small internal rip was the culprit. Basically it would only leak briefly when the cooling system exceeded a certain pressure. There was no evidence at all of this leak on the outside of the hose. So my advice would be to pull the hoses and inspect the interior surface near the hose connections.
