losing tranny fluid, no puddle w124

ok, so i'm losing tranny fluid, probably 1 quart a week... weird thing is, there's no puddling in my driveway... no apparent drips anywhere after i park. i figure it's losing fluid while in motion? what can cause this? any pressure weak points? i may have gone up some steep grades but i really don't recall, can this be a simple leak?

check the vacuum line to the trans modulator.if the modulator is bad you will suck the fluid into the intake and burn it.
