60 clutch issues

Over the last few weeks my clutch pedal has been slowly going down till the friction point was pretty much at the firewall.

Lost it completely this morning and found the fluid reservoir was empty, now I need to pump it fairly often to keep it up.

Do I just need to bleed the system or could the cylinder be shagged? And how do I go about bleeding it? My last 4b just had a cable clutch so I've never had this sort of problem before.

theres a bleed nipple on the slave cylinder under the car, side of bellhousing.

get someone to put foot on clutch, open bleed nipple, close nipple, peddal up

repeat.

i would be checking for leaks on the hoses and at the back of the slave and master cylinder as well.
