    My point exactly. I'm sure the engine bay warms up the master cylinder a bit but the fluid isn't exactly in contact with a heat source like engine oil, coolant, or brake fluid so I'm sure it takes considerably longer to become thinner.

    So your saying it was just acting up because the fluid was cold?

    No, it quit acting up because the fluid was cold. It will most likely go back to the same symptoms you were having before...
