brake fluid leak

brake fluid leak
Hey folks. I just bought my New Edge 6er a few months ago. The dealership I bought it from said they completely replaced all the rotors, calipers and pads before I got it, and I believe 'em because the rotors and calipers look brand new. It has, however, been steadily leaking brake fluid ever since I got it. Every 3 or 4 weeks the red brake warning light comes on, and when I open the hood the reservoir is half empty. I am stumped where it's going though. There is no fluid near the reservoir or anywhere in the engine compartment. There is none underneath the car when it's parked. And there's none in the footwell near the pedal. I've had 2 different shops run a pressure test and they can't find any leaks. My buddy who is ASE certified thinks maybe the dealership didn't tighten the lines well enough in one of the REAR wheels when they installed the new calipers, and that maybe the missing fluid is flying out the back of the car when it's moving and that's why I never find any residue. Would y'all agree with that assessment?
Thanks
Thanks
