Unless you've got fluid all over the clutch pedal, which is the only place the master will leak if the seals fail, it's likely the adjustment rod.
I had this happen to me once, and took to safety wiring the adjustment nut to prevent it.

You rev it to a certain rpm and you can pull it out of gear and by raising it to a certain rpm you can pop it into the next gear. Its not that easy to do in traffic but its not that bad on the interstate. Mine happened in traffic... fun experience.

It is possible for the rod to come out of adjustment, but that rarely happens; and seeing as the OP stated he had clutch fluid all over his slave cylinder, that is the place to start.

While the primary seal can fail independent of the secondary on the pedal shaft, I've never once, in several dozen master cylinder failures, seen one go without the other and obvious leakage.

Wasn't especially clear that something was leaking, as he specifically said it wasn't. Regardless, my point was that the lock nut and rod adjustment is worth checking failing any obvious signs of leakage.
