You have a leak somewhere in your clutch system and you're losing fluid and gaining air. Chances are you can top off the system and manually pump the clutch pedal in hopes of repriming the system or relubricating a seal. If this is a common occurrence (and not just an occurrence because the car has sat for awhile) you do need to address the real issue. The system is really only made up of the master clutch cylinder, the slave clutch cylinder, and a hose that connects the two. One or more of those three things is leaking.

It varies from source to source.
Check the fluid. If its low, replace everything as you have a leak.
If its full, pump the clutch and see if it starts to go back to normal.
-If it doesn't: replace everything as something is worn out and the parts are cheap and the stuff you have is old.
-If it does: replace everything as something is worn out and the parts are cheap and the stuff you have is old.

but you're right never expect a problem to go away, expect it to get worse if anything
