Dunno 'bout the oil or the tranny fluid, but two weeks ago I was
experiencing the same slipping thing.  So being the irresponsible fool I can
sometimes be I did what any other irresponsible fool would do.  I ignored
it, until it got worse and worse and worse on the way uphill to Yosemite.

Well, long story short, two days later the clutch came in to the local auto
parts store (40 miles away), I got a ride there, installed it and I made it
home. (Never made it to Yosemite though, at least not that weekend.)

Moral of story.  It's your clutch.  Don't ignore it.

Oh - and I've heard oil on your clutch can cause the same slipping problem
and the heat from the high revving can then wear your clutch out.  Any way
you slice it, it sucks.
