Remove the side plates and look to see if any is filling into the skid plate, the drain hole or holes often clog and fluid leaking from a drive seal or hose will pool there. 25% chance also some times a piston seal leak is not that noticeable but it adds up if working hard. One thing is for sure if it's leaking badly you will eventually see it. Keep an eye out and don't let it get below the dip stick.

Your drive motors can leak into the chain case if the motor carrier seals go bad. Check your chain case oil. If you remove the inspection plug, and it comes gushing out, your motor carrier seals need to be replaced.
