My guess is leaking cabin heater core. Swapping it means dismantling the whole dashboard: youll become a pro after doing that. However, not knowing the history, it can also be leaking hose (normally cannot). Check out.
Main issue is NO DRIVING before the engine coolant is leak free and gets normally pressurized. This means separate procedural bleeding from ALL air bubbles; most repair shops havent got a glue here. If it is not properly done, future is 'pain full'. FILLUP AFTER LEAK IS NEVER NOT ENOUGH. Air bubbles and/or low coolant means SURELY blown head gaskets - possibly blown engine... (in happy cases (?) this 'may be postponed' some 20k miles - but will happen)

3gen maxima has the computers sitting under the cell, will be fried.
See my CDomain coolant pages to get the idea, clic below.
