If the pedal is going soft after a few minutes then it sounds like there is a leak - air getting into - in the system. Double check the work you did and be sure all connections are tight.

Help us out a bit and tell us specifically what oil you tried that swelled up the rubber gaskets. Thanks

I'm still confused:

Was the problem from the fluid you put into the manual transmission? Or was the problem the fluid you put in the hydraulic system in the clutch master cylinder?

Are you sure you got all of the oil out? It might have ate the seals again?
