how old is the fluid? one possibility is ice crystals or water in the line.

also the clutch dust/grim can slowly cram up the seals around the push rod. Or the slave cyclinder might not be seated right and you're getting **** in that end.

Personally I'd vote water if the fluid is 8+ months old, its also the probabily the quickest/cheapest thing to check and change.
