Unhappy Low Automatic Transmission Fluid

Last week when its was very cold the truck was slow to go when shifted in gear, I checked the fluid it wasnt even on the stick. I changed the filter and fluid in October and it seemed fine. I added a quart and a half seemed ok again. Today after two days same thing real low. There doesnt seem to be any leaks at pan, seals, bell housing the lines or coolers its all dry, no wet spots on the driveway. Its a 03 350 with a 5.4. I do know a cooler leaking into the coolant? Where is it going??

The only places it can go is on the ground, into the coolant in the radiator, or into the transfer case if it is a 4x4.

When you checked the level was the trans warmed up and idling in park? If not, you won't have an accurate check.
