Default Low fluid in clutch reservoir

Hi all, so i had google my problem and states that i need to check my MC and slave, but i just replace them a week ago and running into the same problem again, i did notice that my release fork boot has a rip, can that be my problem because of air entering? Followed the lines and no leak even at the paddle.

problem--low fluid after a couple of days of topping it, sometimes will not let me go into 1st and 2nd, and wont let me out of reverse sometimes as well.

—Rip release fork boot, and rubber seal under the reservoir cap is pretty worn out

—just install new mc and slave and bled it as well.

thanks in advance

EDIT* another thing to note, when it doesNt let me shift out of reverse, clutch paddle will come up slowly same when i cant go into 1st or 2nd

That rubber boot is mainly to keep out water and debris, nothing about air. How old is your clutch/flywheel??

honestly i dont know, bought the car used last year. Does have 285k mileage On it. And still shift pretty smooth, no grinding nor slipping. I do however have a new flywheel and clutch in hand as last resort if i cant find anything else wrong with it.

Check for leaks at the points where there are fittings and check for leaks in the rubber portion of the clutch line.
