1987 Nissan Stanza Manual

I just got this car from my dads best friend and he was telling me that the clutch had some problems. The problem he told me about was that you have to bleed air out every 6 or so months. Is there a certain cause for this problem and how do I fix it?

There has to be a leak; anywhere from clutch to clutch cylinder. The most likely cause is that the master cylinder is allowing it past the seals. But it could be "sucked in" through the seals in the slave cylinder, or through a loose fitting. Note, however, that loose fittings may leak fluid noticeably. The cycliinders may be a bit more subtle in corrupting the system by allowing air in but not allowing much if any fluid to escape.
