Clutch master cylinder problem, please help!

Hello everyone. I have a 92 9000t 5-sp.
My clutch hydraulics have been acting up. 1st I noticed slight grinding of gears going into 3rd & reverse. Also had a rather stiff pedal- thought it was normal. One day the pedal lost resistance at the top half, was still stiff from the halfway point to the floor, and then started sticking at the floor. I barely got it home, as I started to lose more pedal resistance and had almost no shifting ability within minutes.
I checked for leaks, couldn't find any, and figured it was the master cylinder. The car sat for 2 days, but then the pedal started working again... the car drives fine.
Questions:
-When I take the little cover off the tranny to get to the clutch bleeder valve, I see a small amount of fluid down on the bottom of the housing. Could this be clutch fluid? I'm hoping it's not the slave!
-My brake fluid level was at max or above when the pedal went out, now it is at min. Why?
Thank you.
J
