just pop down to you local Repco or similar and get 500ml of generic PS fluid.

Did you get a photo of the leek in your tube?

Be careful, incorrect fluid can eat the seals and other rubber components in the system, leaving you with no assistance and a big bill!
Get the genuine stuff from nissan, or at least dexron.
