I had similar problem, not huge fluid loss. The previous owner had replaced the top expansion tank hose with the wrong size hydraulic hose!! I wondered why the hose was covered with condensation on cold mornings.
I assume "virtually all" is from MAX to MIN on the expansion tank. Does the radiator light come on?
When you did the pressure test did you listen for hissing from the cylinders?
Any white smoke, wet carpets or change in temp readings during coolant loss?
I would check the hoses and clamps. Any swelling or bulging at the clamp replace hose. Pay intention to the top radiator hose.
It's a hard one to test because it doesn't happen all the time. Otherwise you could let the car idle place paper under the engine and watch for leaks.
