Losing fluid, if it is not elsewhere, would be the slave cylinder. The pressure plate has nothing to do with that. If the slave is leaking and there is air in the system likely it can't get enough movement on the throwout bearing to release the clutch, which would explain the shifting problem. The loud noise is something else... perhaps the fluid has dripped onto the throwout bearing and done something bad to it, not sure what.
