Clutch sucking air - a mystery

I own a 93 900S 5 convertible - so about a month ago when I tried to start my car the clutch pedal went right to floor, no resistance - I could not start the car, could not get gear shift into neutral
So I replaced the MC with a new one (Autozone $65)- power bleed the system ($50 bleeder eEuroparts) with DOT4 fluid - the clutch came back fine, it was nice and firm and worked just fine
But after a few days I could feel it starting to get sloppy and after 5 or 6 six days there would be no resistance and the pedal would go right to the floor - I would then hook up my power bleeder, charge the system up to 10psi, crack the nipple on the SC and some air would spit out, then fluid started to flow, close the nipple and the clutch would be back to normal but again only lasting about a week before I had to the bleed the system to get the clutch working.
Where is the air getting into the system? Why does it seem fine and normal for the few days before I have to bleed it again?
Thanks in advance for you're reply to my post
