A bit of fluid gets left in the bleeder valve unless someone is real meticulous - like taking a q tip and swabbing every last drop out.
Soft pedal is a different story, something is not right.
If it were me... I'd redo a manual bleed at all 8 bleeders using a helper that could use a leg work out. Then clean the bleeders and calipers real good before some spirited driving/hard braking. Then recheck if any leaks.
I have a mityvac power bleeder, but also like just doing it manual with a helper.
If tracking, bleeding the brakes often will just be part of the fun. I'd invest in a Mityvac so you can do it yourself.
When tracking cars or jumping out of airplanes there are some jobs you want to do yourself. Like bleeding your brakes and packing your own parachute.
I trust nobody to put a tool on my brakes other than myself.
