540 hood latch problem

today after checking the oil/antifreeze i went to close the hood and for some reason it wouldn't latch. i tried jiggling the release in the car, and adjusting the lever on the hood pushing on it, slamming it, but could not get it to latch. every time I lifted up on the hood to make sure it was closed it came up. nothing was obstructing the hood. i tried to get it closed several times then just took another car as I was late already.

when I came home the problem seemed to have fixed itself (i know it sounds crazy) when i pull up on the hood now it seems fine...

anyway I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and also if anyone had any suggestions on how to fix it.

Also, I'm new to this site but already I want to thank all of you for such helpful posts! I looked through posts for over an hour before joining. Keep up the great work!
