When you say he filled up your brake fluid and tried to pump up the clutch,was he trying to bleed it correctly?sounds as if you are losing fluid to your clutch,probably at the slave cyl,dont know about a KA but some fords incorporate the slave cyl. into the release bearing meaning g/box removal,some have a cyl.outside the g/box,sorry cant be more specific,might get away with bleeding clutch correctly and keeping an eye on your fluid level,that is to say that that is your fault,may be losing fluid elsewhere,get someone who knows what they are doing and get a proper diagnosis.
