who's been having to add transmission fluid?

sometimes for me, depending on the light, glare, etc. it can be deceiving, in those visibility challenges getting the dipstick horizontal immediately upon extracting it and rolling it on a paper towel is very obvious and accurate..I'd never add fluid if I wasn't 100% sure of the level

I think you'll find that 85w140 gear oil isn't much heavier than 20w50 engine oil that a lot of guys run in their tranny. Gear oil and engine oil viscosities are measured differently. Does it make sense to run gear lube in a transmission rather than engine oil? Does to me and Bel Ray is great stuff!

It's definitely NOT leaking out !
I've looked at every possible explanation I can think of along with my main dealer mechanic , but it's still a puzzle !
