Welcome to 2CarPros.

If it was leaking from the bell housing, the slave is either bad or the connection to it is bad.

First, confirm the hydraulic connection is good and there are no leaks there. If there isn't, and I hate to say this, the slave needs replaced.

I attached a picture of the slave and its location.

Let me know if I can help or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
