Default low idle / stalling

My hatch has been acting up for a week now.
Last week I found a heater hose with a pinhole leak
and a brake fluid leak on booster below mc.
I fixed the heater hose. Bled cooling system.
When I started the car it idled fine. When I tapped the gas pedal
it dropped to 500. It did this for two days. As of tonight it stalls.
I gotta keep tapping the gas at stoplights.
I suspect mc/booster or main relay is the problem.
Did some searching. Going to clean iacv and get new plugs tomorrow.
i'm leaning towards booster/mc although braking feels normal. Could that fluid leak be the cause of this?
I put new brake fluid in three days ago and it still there.

I doubt it. Clean the IACV really good.

cleaned iacv itself and the two holes in intake manifold.
Sprayed electrical contactor cleaner on tps, iacv, and map sensor.
Added new ngk plugs.
Started it up, problem returned.
Adjust idle and test drove.
It's all good now.
thanks for your help
