No Clutch Pressure

Im having issues with my clutch and would like some input from some of our clutch savvy members. About 6 months ago i let my master cylinder fluid level get too low and i lost pressure in my clutch pedal. I manually bled it and i regained the pressure i had before. I parked it a few months back for winter and yesterday i got in it and had no pedal again. So i just bled it again and got a lot of bubbles. The pedal seems to be normal now but i feel like if i let it sit again it will just loose pressure. Does this mean i need a new clutch or could i possibly have a bad master cylinder? Sorry for the long post, just wanted to give all the information.

You didn't say you had to add it.
Your TOB is blown.
New clutch time.

Could be the seal in the fluid distribution block. It's a lot easier than replacing the tob so doesn't hurt to check...

The block is the metal piece that sits on top of the bell housing. The clutch line goes into it. The clutch pipe is inside of it. The seal is on the clutch pipe. When I replaced mine I forgot to put the seal on and fluid leaked straight down and out of the bottom of the bell housing. It's just something to check before tearing apart the transmission.
