Angry Need to bleed clutch again!???

A few weeks ago after getting a new clutch installed on my car, I bled my clutch after noticing that the brake fluid resevoir was low- I assume air got into the line bc it takes fluid from the top, correct? Fine- done. NOW, it happened again!!! No visible cracks in the resevoir and it's only about half full (from what I can see- it's dark in my apt complex and i just moved in so I don't have a flashlight). Why is the car using so much fluid causing the clutch to be re-bled only a few weeks later?? This is getting old..

I used it when I bled the clutch- it worked but only lasted for a few weeks- now I'm back at square one.

well, i doubt u can "use up" the fluid. i'm guessing you will definitely feel squishy clutch pedal if you have air in the lines. check in day time, add some fluid and re-check is what i would do. i hope it's nothing to do your brake's side.

The fluid is at about half way- well below the "max" line- there was no air in the line after I bled it last time.
