Think master cylinder seals or worn cylinder bore before the slave because of cost.
You may not see any leakage at all......1. It does not take much air into the slave unit to ruin the clutch action...2. The clutch master seals could be bypassing fluid internally and not leak externally yet.
My opinion is if you just rebleed the line now, it will repeat when you least want it to.......I would, as a minimal, change the seals in the master clutch, can be done easily with driver seat out, clamping or pluging the feed line to the brake master cylinder and using a rag to catch the little amount of fluid when you pull out the clutch master cylinder plunger/yoke from inside the car. Many times this method will self bleed by just pumping the pedal. If full clutch pressure and travel is restored without full line purge then I would say it was the master cylinder seals or worn master cylinder bore or a combination of the two. From my experience I would have opted to change out the master clutch cylinder if I had 150k miles on it.
