Clutch Pedal

I just purchased a 69 Midget about 3 months ago and have been learning a 
great deal from this list.  My father is an auto shop owner/ mechanic 
(alignment, balancing, brakes) and former racer.  He always told me to stay 
away from British cars and convertibles.   I didn't listen and we're having a 
great time maintaining this car together. 

The Question:  More than 50% of the time, when I release the clutch pedal, it 
returns very slowly.  This is disturbing and I'm not sure what the problem is.
Should I replace the rubber components and hose in the hydraulic system and 
bleed it?  How do I know if the master or slave cylinder should be replaced?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
