    I have a basic 1 zone / 6 loop radiant under floor heating system.
    ever since day one the system will lose pressure over time.
    when I pressurize the system to let's say 15 PSI and let it sit, it will stay pressurized when not running, but once the system starts up it will gradually lose most of the pressure over a few days.
    there are no fluid leaks anywhere - checked many times. there is a taco air separator inline but if that was leaking then fluid would leak out.
    any thoughts?

    How old is the system? The air separator could be doing its job. Venting the entrained air out of the system as the fluid is circulated. Depending on the system this could take days or weeks. When air is removed the pressure decreases. The fluid must be circulating for the air separetor to work.

    Do you have an expansion tank?
