Let me add.
I do not nor have I worked on an hydraulic clutch system. But reading you last post it seems to me that
1. Dirty fluid. you probably have rust in the hydraulic system.
2. pressure was "trapped" after applying the clutch, using the hydraulic pressure. This pressure did not bleed off after use.
Check the lines for rust and contaiminants. Also check for return lines that could be clogged with debris.
This would mean checking the lines all the way form the pedal to the clutch actuator.

Just my 2 cents.
