bought my 07 Maxima May, 2008 with 32XXX miles. creeping in on the 3rd year anniversary of owning this Maxima and I've currently got 65XXX miles on it. so 11k miles per year.

Bought new in 2005- currently have 89K miles. Just went through a transmission valve body rebuild (did the trick- no revs between gears). Now just a little engine whine (probably timing chain tensioners). Other than that- strong a** engine that will smoke most other cars on the road. Love my Maxi :-)

fluid leak
hello
i'm sure i'm not posting correctly but i need help with my maxima.
i have 2006 maxima with 46k and today encountered a problem and don't know what's wrong. about 5 minutes into driving after work, i noticed a smell in my car(fishy,sweat). i looked over to the passanger side and noticed some fluid on the rubber mat. it was greenish and immidiately thought my coolant was leaking. since i live 15 minutes away from where i work, i decided to just drive home. i got home without any problem. i didn't notice any change in temp gauge. i got out of my car and checked under the hood to see if anything was leaking but didn't see any leakage. then i opened the hood to check the coolant level. it was just below min. but not sure what the level it was at so couldn't really be sure i had lost any level of coolant. i called my buddy and explained what had happened and he said it could be the freon from the air conditioner unit. he couldn't see why coolant pipe would run under the dash board area. i let the car cool off for couple hours and decided to take a look at the leakage are. i pulled the cover where the leak was happening but since the leak had stopped i didn't see any sign of leakage from couple tubes(pipes) running where the leak was coming from. so i tried starting the engine and turned on the AC for about 5 minutes and didn't see and leaks. if anyone had this problem or know what's causing the leak, please help. i kind of want to know what's wrong with it before i take it to the shop to get raped on. thank you in advance for your help.

For 2 yrs I had a 98 maxima auto. Upgraded Feb.'11 to a 04 max 6spd with 73k. My pops and everyone in my family were trying to tell me 9 grand was too much. Very happy that I didnt listen to them!! My top speed so far is 143 mph.
