SOURCE: clutch slave cylinder replacement or repair -

You will have to replace the rubber and the piston like mechanism to get this done. If you found an assembly replacement for the entire clutch slave, the better. The leaks may be caused by faulty rubber or valve on the piston but this can be caused by the linings of the cylinder becoming rough due to wear and tear.

If the car hasn't been driven for a while it could be corrosion on the fork but I think that is unlikely. I think you are right about the release bearing being jammed in the spring. If the truck has quite high mileage, it probably means a clutch job.
