Default Clutch issue...

Ive never dealt with this until now.. But while driving for long distances on the interstate/hwy, when I go to push in the clutch I lose pressure and it acts as if its not disengaging.. This will also happen if I let the car sit for a week.. Ill have to pump the clutch to build up pressure or bleed the clutch line.. Im not losing fluid anywhere, the master isnt leaking, nor is the slave. However, the clutch fluid looks really dirty, even after just bleeding it and refilling the resevoir. Any deal with this before, or any thoughts? I have a few but I would like some others before I just start trying stuff.

I have went through that once before and it was air in the system. Try using a vacuum pump.

Ive done that.. It works for about a week, but then it just starts doing it again.. Somewhere something is letting air in the line slowly, but Im not sure what is doing it..

It may not be leaking, but it is letting air in some place. I am betting its the master

They do that? I know they've been known to leak but you can see it on the inside of the car... Ive never heard of it just letting air in.
