Heavy clutch?

Hi all!

The dog and I have been on the road for the passed two months in my petrol 1991 DG Caravelle (living the dream!)

I've noticed that in the morning having camped up for the night, the clutch pedal is nice and light but as I drive it gets progressively heavier?

Should this be a concern? Could it be a symptom of low oil?

Grateful for any advice

I had that problem with a lupo
It was the clutch pressure plate spring fingers that get very stiff when hot
broke the cable and pedal box all in all costing a fortune
Yours is a hydraulic clutch but its probably the same fault
Id get it looked at
