Lately I have noticed that the brake pedal when depressed stops fine, just comes half way up and I find myself bringing it up with my left foot. The brake fluid reservoir is full, no visible leaks inside or out and I had the system bled six months ago, I'm thinking maybe the slave cylinder? Any suggesstions?

brake master cylinder....as long as you dont have leaky calipers

Ditto. Always replace both master and slave in pairs.

Luis, the clutch master and slave cylinders should be replaced together, along with the line that ties them together imo, but since he's talking about his brake pedal, its most likely the brake master cylinder thats at fault, assuming he doesn't have a leaking caliper or brake line.

Start with an inspection around each caliper and see if you find anything thats obviously leaking. If you don;t find anything, its a pretty safe bet your brake master cylinder needs replacing. Bonus points if you also change out your clutch master and slave at that time so that the entire hydraulic system is new, but its certainly not mandatory.
