make sure all joints are tight and that you NEVER let the reservoir run dry while you're bleeding it. those would be the first steps.

also, it's possible to let air into a bleeder kit right at the valve you're bleeding to. if you unscrew it too loose then when you release the line pressure it can suck air through the threads into your line and your bleeder line. I've had this happen before, but only when bleeding systems on my own because then I had to use a bleeder kit and leave the valve somewhat open while letting off the pressure. I'd recommend having someone man the pedal if you haven't yet, it may help. some bleeder valves are just not very good, I found on my 323 that one or two of my brake bleeder valves would do that. they'd seal fine when tight, but there was no in between from on or off, just a couple degrees open and it'd let air into the system. quite aggravating when you don't have friends to help out.

make sure the bleeder is tight but not two tight it would suck to strip that bleeder or brake it off in there

Replace the master and slave cylinder.

Also, at the same store please purchase some punctuation and sentence structure.

It can be quite likely. If those parts sit for a few years (or even months in some cases) they develop rust pits in the cylinder bore.

The problem may also be pinhole cracks in the rubber clutch line.

I second that, I'd check if not just straight replace the rubber ( and possibly metal ) clutch line. When I replaced my clutch on my '86 Sport, I discovered that the rubber line had deteriorated so bad on the inside of it, that it destroyed my Master and Slave cylinder and built up so much gunk inside the metal line I had to replace that too.

I had a bad clutch hose, but it didn't let air in, just fluid out.
