I've bleed the system now and topped up with fluid so I will keep an eye on it for the rest of the week, the clutch pedal itself feels a bit firmer and the gear changes are nowhere near as rough but the biting point still seems very vacant
VACANT in my dictionary means EMPTY.

If it was empty the clutch would not work.

The biting point .----Do you mean HIGH or LOW ??

Air from the bleed nipple means there was air in the slave cylinder.

The only way air could get in the slave cylinder is if all the fluid had escaped from it.------or if some air had got drawn in past a worn seal.

You will find fluid on the tray under the engine or dripping out onto the floor. Try and look on the top of the tray with a torch and place a sheet of clean paper under the car to make it easier to see if you have a leak.
