Default Odd hydraulic problem.

On my Arntz, I have twin master for the brakes, and a single for the clutch. All 3 have remote reservoirs with -4an lines run to them.

After you drive the car for a little while, the brake and clutch pedal height will change. The brakes go from roughly and engagement height of 1/2 way down to 1/4 the way down, and the clutch release goes from roughly 1/2 the way up to 3/4 of the way up. It acts as though the fluid is expanding from hear or something, but there really is no heat source near the lines. The reservoirs can get warm, but not hot.

Any ideas on the cause of this? The brakes do not drag in any way from what I can tell. The car is easy to push cold or hot and the clutch does not seem to slip.

This has me baffled as it happens every time I drive for more than maybe 15-20 minutes.
