Default Brake Master Leak

I'm having trouble with my brake master cylinder I have to keep filling it from time to time, but I'm having trouble with my clutch pedal. It gets really soft and I have to keep bleeding it every 3-4 days otherwise the car won't go into gear, could this be caused by a leak from the brake system?

The clutch master cylinder (MC) is in the driver's side corner of the engine bay and the brake MC is to the right of it. Which reservoir is losing fluid?

The Brake MC is losing fluid. The clutch pedal is soft, and then I bleed it and its ok for a few days, but then I have to bleed it again, I was jw if these two problems were related.

I forgot to mention I changed the clutch master and slave recently. So maybe it time to replace the brake MC?

Did you use OEM or OEM equivalent parts? If not, they could be junk. Check fittings for signs of wetness. Tighten if necessary. Check lines, they can rust.
