Question Manual Transmission Issue

I don't really have a real problem going on but something happened that has me confused.
Today it rained real bad and I decided to go drive through some decently sized puddles, all in all I had a fun time and the truck's fine BUT after wards I noticed that the pressure behind the clutch was significantly less. Still works as it should, still fully engages the clutch but just a lot less effort to put the pedal down.
I'm not really complaining about it, just wondering if this is just some good luck or there's something actually wrong and i don't know it yet.

Please let me know if you know anything.

I had the same thing happen with my 2000 4.7. While it didn't seem to hurt anything it would get really easy to push the clutch in compared to "normal."

Turns out it was the slave cylinder failing. It shortly thereafter developed the "squeal." Changing out the master/slave cylinders gave me that nice easy pedal all the time.
