What I think you have is a hose leak, reason why its "invisible" is it only leaks when the pressure builds up when you're driving and falls to the ground your speeding away from. Check the oil coolant line's to start, then check the oil coolant seal that's on top of the oil filter then do what I do by looking for the "goop"

If you jack the car up, look where any oil might be running on the underside, mind you you aren't losing a whole lot so its not going to be terribly obvious. Check the oil filter, if its goopy on the end your coolant seal is bad, if you have an area under the axle that the oil might be pooling then you should find it.


Keep us updated.
Its due for new oil and filter anyways, i'll take a look at it, and see what I can find.
