Get that CSC replaced ASAP. You've got aftermarket options. If you take it to a shop, prepare yourself for a day's labor cost, because the transmission has to drop for access.

Like I already said, prepare for a full day labor cost. 8 hour job or more at $xxx/hour, plus parts. I had mine replaced under warranty 7 years ago, and it was a $1500 job at the dealership.

Research CSC elimination kit. Z1 sells one, so does ZSpeed.

Whatever you do, upgrade your clutch pedal to the RJM kit. Part of the RJM marketing claims is that it addresses the reason why the OEM CSC fails so often. So there's that, plus the fact that the clutch pedal is a pretty awesome mod.

Is the clutch fluid low?
If not, the cause may be an internal leak in the clutch master.
When the slave cylinder leaks, it drips on the ground and the reservoir empties.

I have also read that the RJM pedal is a nice upgrade, but it doesn't prevent/reduce CSC failure according to long time Nissan expert Jim Wolfe:

An improvement on the OEM design. Nice! I didn't know about the JWT CSC.

As for the claims from RJM, note the second bullet: https://rjmperformance.com/370z-g37/

Feel free to reach out to RJM for an explanation, because I don't know what it is. Used to, but don't anymore.

If memory serves correct, the RJM pedal reduces the stoke on the CSC to prevent the chance of "over stoke" where it cracks the plastic and leaks.
If you have the money, the best solution just may be the JWT CSC and the RJM
