Hi, Had a similar experience a few months ago. I was riding my 85 CB650SC and parking it. Nearly drove through the back wall of my garage. Kill switch still works!!
As for the slave cylinder. The grease you are seeing, this is contaminated clutch fluid. I cleaned this completely and removed all wax material with fine steel wool from cylinder housing and replaced slave piston, seals etc. I put a little copper grease on slave rod on reassembling. Replaced clutch fluid completely and working fine since. Hope this helps.
