Clutch Problems

Ok so here is my long and complete story.
6 weeks ago I noticed while doing my routine fluid check that the clutch fluid resevoir was dry. I added brake fluid accordingly and was ok for about a week. At that point I started losing resistance, so I found out I needed to bleed the system, and I did.
Everything was fine for about a couple of weeks, but then it got low, and started losing resistance again. I filled it to the line again, but this time, it was giving me more trouble, as it got to the point where I could not put the car into gear. I bled the clutch system once again, and everything was good.
After that I checked the fluid religiously. Once in the day and once at night and the fluid remained at a normal level. The problem now is that im losing resistance again. The fluid is at a normal level. Is there something else I should be checking? Or is this problem more than just the clutch resevoir. Any insight welcome!

You have a leak somewhere in the system. Brake//clutch fluid does not evaporate, so if you are continually adding fluid you need to find the leak. Also if there is air in the system you won't get the clutch to operate..Air compresses, brake fluid doesn't.

Turns out it was leaking through the master cylinder, replaced it along with the slave.
