master is up by your clutch pedal

Slave is in the bell housing of your transmission.

If you are going to pull the transmission to put in a new clutch, why not spend the 80 bucks for a new slave?

are you having any clutch problems?

If something is leaking, find out where it's leaking. . .replace that part. If you are already replacing the clutch, you need to change the slave cylinder/throwout bearing while you are in there regardless though, so you know you at least need to replace that one.

The slave cylinder/throwout bearing assembly? Yes, it is highly recommended.
