Exclamation Clutch Pressure lost and regained multiple times

Earlier this evening I lost clutch pressure when I tried moving my 2000 ss out of the parking lot @ Rutgers (the pedal went down to the floor with no resistance and then stayed down). I checked the clutch fluid; it was full, just black. I kept pumping the clutch with my hand (car was off) until I regained some pressure, so I started the car again and let it warm up. I got in 1st fine, 2nd ok, 3rd... Clutch pedal remained on the floor again. So I called my dad and he came, tried the same thing, then said we're going to try driving it home (20 mins away, no biggie). When we pulled it into the driveway, he claimed that the pressure came and went multiple times. With him, we tried pumping the clutch with the reservoir cap off to see if any air bubbles escaped; no bubbles came. What might the issues be? Friday after my classes I'll be bleeding the clutch with my buddy Rob and see if that can fix the problem, or if it just eliminates a possibility. What're your thoughts?
