Yesterday I did 1 jungle game with Nautilus, I started with Machete + 5 pots (as recommended by Riot). Doing blue buff alone was doable, but in any game against human players I strongly recommend you get help because I had ~100HP left after getting the buff... By the time I reached red buff (going blue-wolves-wraiths-red) though I had recovered most of my HP and my smite was up again (thank you new masteries) and clearing that went a lot easier (I might have been lvl 3 as well).

After that first round I had no trouble clearing the jungle, the only real issue I had was that Spirit stone didn't quite provide enough mana regen to jungle effectively and seeing how it only applies on skills you're kinda forced to use at least 1 or a few spells for each camp (which can quickly drain Naut's mana). So I recommend getting something like a Philo as well besides Spirit stone, at least if you plan on building it into Ancient Golem which has just as much mana regen as Spirit Stone.
