Clutch noise and soft brakes

yes, inside the cabin, theres a rubber boot where the brake pushrod goes through, its looks damp around that area, not dripping or anything, i didnt think too much of it

Why not pull the boot back and check the damp is brake fluid before worrying about replacing the master - but of course the master could be leaking inside itself if you're not really losing fluid level.  To test have the ignition off press the brake pedal hard and see if it sinks.

But you've not said if you've checked the drums, inside, and checked for any lose parts anywhere.  A good torch, cleaning rag and thorough visual and perhaps touch inspection of the whole of the braking system and it's parts and components for leaks, wear and adjustment or replacement.  A clean and check of adjustment as there could be more than one issue causing your problem.  That's without the ABS and computer programs.
