I track mine and have voided every warranty but Nissan is going to take a look at it. I also had to change the ps hose because it had a pin hole in it it ($200). My 2015 has the stock ps cooler but it still boils the fluid and it leaks by the pump too. I’m glad I found this post so I can share it with the dealer. Thanks for taking the time to post.

If you are tracking. Don't fill the reservoir to the full line. Keep it at the add line. It won't boil out of the reservoir at that level. Also use the Z1 steering cooler.
