bleeding clutch - air bubbles in system

900s 2.1 16V conv.
I had to "bleed" my clutch system 3 or 4 times this past winter. A couple of times the fluid was slushy almost frozen.
I just had to bleed it again after about three months.
Where is air getting into the system?
Does anyone have a suggestion of what type of fluid to use? It gets below zero here in the Northeast during the winter but nothing below -10degF.
To bleed my system I crack the nipple at the slave attach one end of a plastic hose - I then place the other end into the brake fluid reservoir
and pump the clutch until the air bubbles are gone.
Thanks for taking the time
