Clutch / Hydraulic Issue?

So, few months ago I purchased a 2004 6 port 6 speed manual RX-8. This car has been nothing but a blast to drive. The car is very tidy, and I've got almost 0 issues. A month and a half goes by and selecting gears is very easy, gearbox doesn't feel too bad. However each day it just started getting harder and harder to select gears, mostly when the car was stationary. I knew it wasn't the trans as it would slide in and out of gear without the engine running. Now I eventually couldn't get the car moving and got it towed to my mates shop. Has a poke around, turns out the slave and master have **** itself and the fluid was getting roasted as the clutch line was too close to the engine. It got sorted, I even changed my gearbox oil just to be sure it would be smooth as. Not even 10 days later, new master cylinder leaking in through where the clutch pedal is. Have since replaced that, strengthened the clutch pedal (it snapped) and replaced the clutch line and re routed it so it's not so hot. Felt amazing for a week, just within a day it has decided to **** itself again. I can't see any leaks (haven't checked everywhere so far) and I'm seriously considering it could be the clutch worn out however the clutch felt fine within the days it was working. Any ideas? Cheers.
