I'm not quite sure about your description, or what the problem is. "Slipping" suggests that the clutch pressure plate spins against the clutch plate without engaging fully, as if the springs weren't pressing the two surfaces together hard enough. Like there was some oil on the two surfaces. Perhaps the spring assembly that presses the two surfaces together just needs replaced.
It's usually the opposite symptom when the engine/clutch becomes hot (this happened on my 82) - the segment of flexible hose near the slave cylinder begins to leak and expand under pressure when it becomes hot. So instead of the fluid pressure reaching the slave cylinder and disengaging the clutch when you press the pedal toward the floor, the rubber segment expanded (balloons) to where I couldn't shift gears. It mostly happened during congested city street driving when temps raise within the engine compartment. For the short time I had to drive like that until I replaced the clutch line, I would have to pull over and raise the hood to cool the engine and the clutch line. After a period of cooling the clutch would return to nortmal.
