Clutch system problems

Bit of a long story, so i'll keep it as short as poss!
I have a R 21turbo and recently had problems with the clutch - on a journey home it bacame more and more difficult to get in gear, car was juddering at standstill as if i was disengaging clutch.
After checking the system, (new master cylinder and journals) i came to the conclusion it was the slave cylinder, so i replace it.
After bleeding the system with the new slave, all seemed fine.
However, its now getting harder to put in gear again and the biting point is less than an inch from the floor.
Any suggestions? im guessing air must be getting in somewhere, but there are no leaks anywhere that i can find.
I pressure bled the system and only once... could this be it? - does it need a another good manual bleed?

if you had air in the clutch system the pedal would feel spongey or be non existant.
sounds like the clutch cover is faulty.
