a little rest does the clutch good?!

You may have a bad main seal on the engine. This happened on an 8v i had. If it sat for a while,
clutch was great (old oil sits for a while and gets sticky), of it was driven with engine up to
temp, it would start slipping a bit(oil would collect on it). But if there is 180k on it, you might
want to change it anyway.
