When I drove the car for any distrance, say 200km at 110km/hr (using cruise
usually) the clutch would lose a lot of pedal. After advice from this NG
about fluid leaking past the pistons, both master and slave were replaced
with new. However, the problem still occurs although to a lesser extent.
As it really only occurs when driven continuously for 200-300km at a
constant speed, could heat build-up have anything to do with the problem?

Hose on the system gets soft with heat? Perhaps try replacing the hose.

I had a leak due to wear on one of the clutch pipes that went down the
side of the engine. Don't see how it could be intermittent, but its
worth a look.
