I have a weird clutch problem: Quite often, (perhaps 30-40% of the time) after turning right at a roundabout or taking a sharp right hand bend, I will lose clutch pressure - that is, the clutch will still operate, but only just - instead of feeling "normal" it engages/releases with the pedal much closer to the floor and it doesn't feel as though the hydraulics are working (there's very little resistance in the pedal).
I have tested to see what then rectifies the problem and it either resolves itself after a minute or so - seemingly without intervention, or I can immediately hook the pedal upwards with my toe - as though the pedal itself has dropped towards the floor - perhaps implying that it's a pedal issue, rather than a hydraulic problem?
Of note:
Any insight is invited !
Thanks

Of note:
- I Just had my brake servo replaced with a new unit and some suspension work done.
- The clutch problem 100% existed before the servo work was done
- I think the previous owner said he had had a new clutch fitted (within the last couple of years)
- car has done 85k
