I can now drive again

but my clutch is still only 1/2 there
bad seal somewhere, I'm assuming slave cylinder since that's the 
hardest to replace (and it's wet - master's dry)

anyone know how to make *sure* it's the slave before I start dropping 
the tranny, or whatever horrible thing I have to do?
thx
Rolf
