My '80 does this and it appears the "new" '79 as well. I attribute this to nothing more than the surface tension of the oil, particularly if it's a cooler day. Letting the engine oil temp. warm-up slightly and then pulling the clutch lever a few times alleviates the issue. Once free, there's no issue from day to day.
