Clutch Help

Since I had new brakes and bled system, clutch is somewhat eratic.

Since it's all one system, can bleeding brakes affect clutch action?

Does the clutch system need to be bled to get air out, like the brake system?
If no, why not, how is it different than brake lines?
If yes, how to do it.
Thanks
 
I got my clutch replaced and then it acted erratic for the first week also noticed the break fluid went down so had to refill it not completely but a significant amount. Then the clutch stopped acting erratic.

I know clutch and the cylinders can start giving problems at around 100,000 my car did it at about 102k mi. and couple months after breaks were changed. Check if you have any leaks put a cardboard (preferably white) under the engine, my car leaked fluid very slowly when the slave begun to fail. It always spit the droplets around the middle driver side and towards the white stop bars in parking lots. Have you ever changed the master and slave cylinder?

Also check the breaks to see if you have any fluid leaking there as well. Any pressure drop in the breaks affects the clutch.
 
Forgot to mention the master cylinder needs to stay at least 3/4 of the way full or you will get air in the clutch line
