Exclamation '96 Eclipse Clutch Losing Pressure

My 1996 eclipse RS loses pressure on the clutch. the car wouldnt go into gear and then i bled the clutch yesterday. after bleeding the clutch it worked fine, but when i got in the car this morning i had to pump the clutch pedal several times to build the pressure back up. now i have to pump the clutch at every redlight or stop sign. its really annoying. can someone please tell me whats wrong.. i parked the car overnight on concrete pavement and there were no signs of leaks on the concrete the next morning.

sounds to me like a bad master cylinder or slave cylinder.

If you M'cyl is leaking look under the dash at the firewall. Right where the rod runs through you will see fluid running down the firewall to the floorboard. The M'cyl could just be bypassing also.
