I had the same problem. After monthly fills for 6 months, I went and replaced those plastic DD clamps with much better spring clamps. Worked nicely.
I am losing (still) about 1/ 1/2" of fluid for a two week period. I have 1/2" ID silicon tubing. The system has been up for over two months now, I doubt it is air. This 1 1/2" of fluid BTW accounts for about one (1) teaspoon of liquid. Still and all I can't see any leaks anywhere either.

Did you use the "band" type hose clamps?
