That coolant pressure test system, a professional one that will last pressure test and not fall apart after three uses will cost about 360.00, guess who has to buy it, the tech.

And now your asking him to work for 10-15. An hour if you factor his hourly rate spread over the free diag time.

And, therefore, what the Nissan tech should have written was that "there is a coolant leak that requires further diagnosis" in the area that I've shown in the initial photos. Period. I would then have taken note of it and probably proceeded as I stated in my last comment rather then being led astray, etc.
