Luke,

I would start with the slave cylinder and work your way up. Assume 
that the master is in as poor shape as the slave and do both, or 
you'll be bleeding clutch hydraulics soon again.

I think I'm fast in the same boat as you, recently noticed clutch 
reservoir was a little low on my '00 NB SE. Next oil change...
