Don't really understand what you're asking :?

Have you pushed the clutch pedal down without an engine in the car?

Basically has pulling the rod out cocked up my slave cylinder? And if the engine not running would cause that,

If the rod has come out, it could possibly damage one of the seals, although I had the rod pop out on mine and it was fine after.
