Fade in hydraulic clutch 900

1993 940s Turbo UK spec with 4 speed + OD 125,000 miles on clock.

Towed caravan (trailer) this afternoon. Parked car for an hour or two then when I came back out to use it the clutch pedal had no pressure.

There are no leaks of fluid from master or slave and there is plenty in the reservoir.

At this point we used my wife's Fiesta to go out for dinner.

Later that evening I decided to start looking into the back of the master cylinder to see how hard it would be to pull.

However the pedal had regained pressure and was working as normal.

It looks like when the engine stopped the heat soak effect caused bubbles in the hydraulics which disappeared when the engine cooled down.

Any better ideas or should I just bleed the clutch tomorrow?
