I've had my Max for 2 years and I have never filled up my Clutch fluid. You have a leak somewhere.

Clutch fluid is just hydraulic fluid just like brake fluid, you should never have to refill a hydraulic system unless there is a problem with it. That's the basis on which a hydraulic system works (closed system).

You most likely have a leak in the soft line right by the slave (clutch release) cylinder. I just recently had this problem.

I just replaced it with a Stainless steel line since the dealership wanted $40 for just 1/2 the line while the GD on the org was $25 for a SS line that now replaces the whole line. There was originally a problem with them being too short on some cars but that is now addressed I think. Look at the thread about any issues or just get raped by a nissan dealership.

Man.
Hate to hear that.
It just goes for that old saying, "if you want something done right, do it yourself." Unfortunately, this is true too often.
Even though it would be easier to just take it to someone sometimes, you get a better quality job if you do it yourself....if possible.
Good luck.
