In fact, do I need a new clutch slave? I pressed the clutch and then fluid came out of the slave. Where do I go from here?

Yeah, too late unfortunately. Clutch is messed up.

I heard it again this morning. It seems to be after you start the car, not when it initially turns over. I will take the belt off when I have time, maybe tomorrow morning, and check it again.
