Todays clutch system can't be bleed the old fashioned

way, like we did with brake system before ABS came into play.
Before you started to bleed and add fluid to the reservoir, was it empty of fluid? In that case you have a leak somewhere in the system.
If you still had plenty of fluid in the reservoir, most likely the clutch slave cylinder have starting to suck air in on the backstroke, when the clutch pedal is released.
The way to bleed this systems is by power bleeding. At the shop we have a canister of brakefluid (under pressure) and a cap that fits the reservoir.
We put the cap on the reservoir and push the new fluid through the system. Even with this system we need to pump the clutch pedal about 20-50 times before it starts to take.
Many DIY have manufactured their own pressure bleeders. You only need a spare cap and a bicycle pump. Drill a hole through the cap and install an valve stem from a tire. Pressurize the reservoir carefully while opening the bleedervalve. And keep an eye on the fluid level in the reservoir.
You might need to lift the pedal several times before the pressure plate start to push the pedal back.
If this works, you still need to find the source for the problem.
