when mine went, I replaced them as a set
TRY AND BLEED IT 1ST!!!!!! It's cheaper but most likely one of them is shot.

Yeah, I've been down this road before on several vehicles, most of the time it was the slave. I've only had one that leaked. As mentioned above replacing them both is recommended. I've replaced several slaves and then had to replace the master several months to a year later. the seals inside fall apart and age. don't forget to get a new hose too.
