Default Gravity Bleeding Clutch Problems

I'm currently gravity bleeding my brakes and clutch. I'm having no problem with the brakes, but in trying to do the clutch it seems that there may be air getting into the tube. As the fluid flows out there a bunch of air pockets that keep forming. I've gone through .5 liters already. Does anyone know where air could be getting in? Am I loosening the bleeder to much and it's getting in through there? Thanks for the help.

i just let mine gravity bleed. all is good. no cap needed, just keep the res full, never letting it go low. helps with two people. if this doesnt work, you could have a bad component, ie clutch cylinder, leak in hose ect.
hope this helps.
