Well, its not my car but its my girls car. She has a 05 TL 6 speed. I was doing a oil change today and noticed that the slave cylinder was leaking and also it was very lose, like i can push and pull very easily and lots of play...I wanna change it but i just wanted to know if you have to chnage the master as well

If the slave cy. is leaking change it, no need to change m. cylinder unless you run into other problems after the slave is changed.

do you need to bleed the system when changing out the slave cylinder?

Yes you will have to bleed it, when you remove the line from the old s. cyl. you get air in the line. After you get the new one installed fill the clutch m. cyl. & open the bleeder on the new s. cyl. & just wait til the fluid starts dripping out (takes a few minutes) that lets the fluid push most of the air out of the system. Then do a normal pump & bleed. Do a search on "bleed slave cylinder".
