Check fluid level COLD, mine did this for ages till I realized that when COLD the fluid was below the cold line and it WAS the issue. 261k miles now, solid as a rock.
It was good warm, but NOT good cold, and the colder it got the worse
Check it cold, colder the better.

Do you need to warm it up at all when checking fluid cold?

No, that is the problem. It MUST be checked COLD (and read on the COLD part of the dipstick). Maybe not all years had a cold line, my early 98 GS4 does. If the level is ok warm, and not ok cold, it will lead to the pump sucking the pan low and have the cold issue where the car goes low on fluid and my description is "kicking off into neutral".
