IF you have air in the lines, most likely the reservoir momentarily sucked air. (the fluid was due to be replenished)
If by 'sinks' you mean that the pedel goes to the floor without disengaging the clutch, then you have a bad Clutch Master Cylinder. Bleeding it may temporarily mask the situation (via the introduction of fresh fluid), but the underlying condition still exists; corrosion of the cylinder's bore. This damages the cylinder bore's surface and doesn't allow the piston seal to conform and seal against the bores surface - thus the loss of pressure.
