Subject:air in clutch hydraulic system '84 Vanagon ?puzzled?

Help! Last week I bled my clutch system as I had a very low pedal. I'm
positive I did it when I replaced my clutch master cylinder a few months
ago, but I didn't know wnat else to do. Well, I saw air and dark fluid come
out so I figured I didn't get it bled very well when I changed the master.
My pedal was much higher after bleeding.

In the course of a week, my pedal has gone back down to the floor. Somehow,
air is being introduced into the system. I just inspected the clutch
hydraulic line and I find no leaks.

Wouldn't I see leaks if there was an area that was letting air in?

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Leo
