Hello

its not unusual over time to lose a bit of fluid as there's breather on the transmission which means you'll lose a tiny amount of oil as vapour and also the oil seals aren't 100% perfect and again tiny amounts weep out down the input and output shafts over time

As for locating the correct fluid try contacting this firm
