Clutch Squeak Help
My clutch pedal has developed a bad squeak. There is a little brake fluid leak. I had the clutch cable replaced about a year ago. Nothing feels wrong with the operation of the car at all, it's just embarrassingly noisy.
I cleaned out the pedal cluster area this weekend, and it seemed to quiet down a little, but now it's bad. I put some engine oil on the spring and where it connects just before this vid. It's been pretty cold here recently - in the 40's. Might the temp have something to do with it? It sounds like the squeak is coming from underneath the front of the car. Thanks for your comments

Time to pull the pedal cluster out and rebuild it.

Fix your brake fluid leak, then throw some bronze bushings in the cluster. Problem solved (for a long time). Good luck!

ok, thanks guys, that's kinda what I was expecting. I've heard it takes the better part of a Saturday.
with respect to the fluid leak, could something like that happen if someone put DOT4 in my brake system? I never had a leak until I had the brake fluid replaced a couple of months ago. I suppose it's possible they didn't block the brake pedal and the MC got damaged that way? I generally trust the guys who did it, maybe that's not the cause or maybe they just goofed.
