You aren't noticing any leaks?
Check that the bleed screw on the slave cylinder is tight all the way, I had a CTS V bleed screw loose by 1/16th of a turn and it was seeping enough to notice.
I would check the master cylinder for a leak, any of the lines and connection points and if that is all dry and you are still loosing fluid then pull the trans, the slave cylinder could be leaking.

Yes the leaks are coming down from the driver side on the bottom of the car. it literally leaks right after i put some fluid. I dont know what lines im looking at but when i was down there they all seemed dry.
Also saw some bubbles when i put more fluids so i know that cant be good so im not going to be driving it.
