I will monitor the situation but it looks like I might be up for a new slave cylinder soon.

This is why I have a shop rule.
If the clutch slave or master cylinder is bad, they are both replaced at the same time.
My Direct Experience over 35+ years:
If one has failed, the other (typically) will fail within one year.
