Using Drive Fluid Up

2008 38 Fountain EC with 496 HO's and Bravo 3's..
I have been monitoring the drive fluid levels all season, and have had to refill the stbd. side three times already. None needed on port. No oil in bilge, no oil slick behind the drives...
No shavings on the lower unit magnets.
...where can it be going?

In the bellows. Rear seal on the drive is probably bad.

While it's off have it pressure and vacuum tested as well. Could be going past a seal and you will not always notice it as an oil slick.
