need some opinions!! about 99% sure my slave cylinder blew tonight.. i stepped on the clutch.. something banged followed by no clutch pressure.. the master looks fine.. all the lines are connected.. and there is brake fluid coming through the slit in the bottom of the bell housing.. if my slave blew.. do you think i got fluid all over the clutch?? i only drove about a mile with it like this.. and i shifted clutchless obv.. i have like no money.... and i dont want to have to replace the clutch as it has less than 10k miles on it...

Definitely the slave cylinder.
If it blew hard like that (mine started leaking slowly so the clutch didn't get sprayed) I'd say there's got to be at least some fluid on the clutch, which isn't good at all.
Drop it down and check it out, if the clutch is 100% dry you'll probably be okay reusing it, but if its damp or you can see where fluid got on it, you're going to have to replace it.
