After reading about how to change my own leaking clutch hose, I decided to just let the dealer do it while the car was in the shop for something more major. The dealer's version of this fix was to run a stiiff metal tube off the slave cylinder, then attach a rubber hose running back down. The whole thing is supported by a tie to a battery cable. I reckon they did this because the original clutch hose layout (famous for leaking) had the rubber hose lying across the top of the transmission, which is probably what caused the leaks in the first place.

 

Did they happen to write down the cost/part#? I've been having the same problem (having to refill the resovior every 3 or 4 days or I have to bleed the clutch of air) and want to get the thing replaced if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg for a damn hydrolic hose...

The hose that connects directly to the slave cylinder (Since Nissan gave us all 2 hoses between the reservoir and slave cylinder) is fairly simple to replace. The hose costs about $50 at Nissan and the easiest thing to do is actually remove the slave cylinder and work on that part out of the car, the other end connects to the frame and is easy to work with. You guys are lucky that you can see your hoses going. Mine went very quickly as in I check all of the fluids on the car every Sunday and my clutch went out completely on Wednesday. I had to trucker shift home, without grinding I may add, and take it apart there. This happened at 130,000 miles. Check the Haynes manual for the proper procedure.
