Are you saying nothing comes out of the bleed nipple?
Is it loose enough to get the bleeding brake oil out as you pump?
What sort of bleeding method are you using? Vacuum pump or bleed bottle while pumping the brake pedal?

i know it is a silly question but is there fluid in the resivour. where are you trying to bleed it from, at the master cylinder or the slave cylinder. if the fluid becomes contaminated it can sometimes form a gunk plug at the hole where the fluid goes into the master cylinder, it might pay to clean out the resivour

Dot 3, dot 4 and 5.1 are made with the same base (glycol) and are compatible, but dot 5(silicon) is not.
You can add a dot 4 to a dot 3 system, and dot 5.1 to a dot 4 system, but never the other way around.
Is there any rust visible in the system at all?
I have always used new brake fluid as a cleaner. You might want to buy a cheap syringe to suck the gunk out of the line.

yeah, as mudnut says, get a cheap syringe or a piece of clear tube 4mm diameter about 500mm long and suck it out, be careful not to injest it, is nasty stuff. i usually wipe the resivour clean with a lint free cloth before refilling. if the fluid still does not go thru, see if you can pressurise the resivour a little some how. if still no go the master cylinder might need a over haul.

Not advisable . If you don't have a moisture separator or trap after the compressor and if you have an in-line oiler, you will further contaminate the system. Take the bleed nipple out and check its not blocked.
