Bad master cylinder?

Bad master cylinder?
I own a 2006 cobalt ss and recently I've been losing brake fluid slowly but no visible leaks. I'm experiencing a soft clutch that sometimes changes sweet spot if I drive it enough, also my brakes feel soft. Is this a sign of a bad master cylinder?

That was my first thought, but I had my slave cylinder and clutch replaced last month and they vacuum bled the whole system and told me they couldn't find any air in the lines. So my last thought is the master cylinder has a leak so its getting air in the whole system and making it so I'm not getting pressure in the reservoir.

I would contact slowbalt for a new master, Also I am unsure if you have a 2.4 or a 2.0 ss, But since your cars is manual you will need a master cylinder that is for a manual transmission not automatic
You are technically kinda right but it won't be sucking in air, The seal around the piston is leaking and as you accumulate pressure it leaks by the piston seal and back into the reservoir resulting in a loss in pressure.
