Hard to go into gear sometimes + sometime bumps forward.

I wish this car would give me a break :crazy:

I have been fighting what I believe to be air in the clutch. The pedal is firm, but the car would sometimes get stuck in gear or be really hard to go into gear, and crazy shudder randomly when releasing the pedal. I happen to have a motive pressure bleeder. So I stole the 45mm reservoir cap off it. Then did fords procedure. I would get it up to 20hg, but noticed it would lose about 2hg every 30 seconds. I want to verify that this is probably a leak. I haven't seen any fluid, nor have I noticed the loss of any fluid if there is its so small I wouldn't be able to notice it. I also know after a little bit of driving when taking off my cap from my master cyl it would make a sound like relieving pressure, which I assume is normal. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. Is it worth it to keep investigating if there's even more I can do, or should I just bite the bullet and get Ford to take a look at it?

Clutch + Tob changed 2k miles ago with an Exedy clutch.

Look really close where the clutch fluid line connects to the master reservoir. There is a rubber seal inside the tube where it connects and it's fairly common that connection is not right or starts to come loose.
