I've only looked at the slave cylinder on one MB, my 307d, and it was a number of years ago and I wasn't interested in adjusting it so I can't comment with any authority. However, many clutch activating systems have an adjustable rod which allows the throwout bearing to the moved closer/further away from the clutch. Is the rod which is activated by the slave cylinder adjustable? Can the slave cylinder itself be adjusted?
I'm speculating that as the clutch has worn in, the fingers which activate the clutch have moved outwards, slightly touching the throwout bearing when not engaged, causing the noise.
