1996 Cavalier Clutch problem

About a month ago the clutch fluid res leaked out completely somehow. When this happened my clutch lost all pressure. To put a temporary fix on the problem I had to change the fluid in the res at least twice a week because it would get very dark and dirty. After a while of that I replaced the Master cylinder for the clutch. It seemed to be find for about 4-5 days. Now its lost all pressure again, and the fluid looks perfectly normal. I'm completely stumped on what is causing this. Any ideas?

no, the master cylinder has to do with the brakes, it has nothing to do with the clutch

No I mean the Master Cylinder for the clutch.no this cylinder I am refering to is down below which is located on left side of clutch housing . I know which one you are refering to and it is located up top for the clutch and will likely be smaller than the master cylinder for brakes. Here chech this out .as you can see it is also called a slave cylinder http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/04/fd/c9/0900823d8004fdc9/repairInfoPages.htm

hate to ask this, but did you bleed it real well? i had one that i bled a buttload, drove it, and a freaking bubble surfaced out of nowhere, bled once more and all was well.

So Today I bled the clutch after the 4th time and wala! It works just fine again... although now.... I have a fuel line problem... I think its the fuel filter... Hoping its not the pump...
