Air is getting in to my clutch fluid....where could it be comming from?

Sometimes when i walk out to mt car in the morning my clutch is on the floor. I have to pump it quickly with my hand for about 30 seconds to build pressure up......so i bled the clutch....and it was perfect for about 2 days and slowly air started getting back into the system.....so i bled it again....and it take about 2 to 3 days to go back to being limp pedal in the morning.....where could the air be comming in from?

i was thinking myabe the clutch line, cause it is old...but i see no fluid leaks on it or anything..

It's probably the clutch master cylinder. Make sure your not loosing fluid anywhere. Check around the lines and the slave cylinder. If you see no sign of fluid leaks and the system doesn't appear to lose any fluid, then replace the master cylinder.
