Default Leaking Slave Cylinder ... Is Clutch still good?

I have fluid leaking from my bellhousing vent at the bottom so I am sure my slave cylinder is leaking. I am concerned that I may have to replace the clutch assembly too. It is a 910 disc and 402 PP from RAM on a stock flywheel. Can I replace the slave unit at get by on this setup? Need response ASAP since this is my daily car.

I blew two seals out of 145 slaves without getting a drop of fluid on the new Spec clutch I had installed. I never ran over 4k rpm though and only for a few miles. If you are driving it with it leaking I think there would be a chance it could get fluid on the clutch. If the leak is very small, the fluid will just run down the transmission, across the bellhousing and out the window. You will have to check it when you pull the transmission to be sure.

Well, I believe it did because the clutch is alittle grabby before and now it is smooth. The clutch material is sintered iron. It shouldn't breakdown like an organic disc, right?
