Unhappy Clutch squeak (not pedal squeak)

I was cleaning the interior of my car and I was about to put the gear on 1st and when I stepped on the clutch pedal I heard a squeak coming from the rear (not from the pedal).

You can't hear it with the engine's running.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Ron

PS: I've got WD40 and ready to pull the trigger.

That is the typical symptom of a failing slave cylinder. I had mine replaced about 10k miles ago. Other symptoms include the "hanging pedal". Mine squeeked, but did not hang up.

Circa $300 if I remember correctly.

Sorry, lastly, I remember my mech. mentioning something about the brake fluid lubricating the cable. I am not too sure about this. I had my fluid replaced at the same time, so I might be confusing the two.

When did you replace the fluid last?

I bought the car last year and since it had a low mileage the dealer did the low-mileage service before they sold the car and the service include flushing the brake fluid.

I've put on less than 5k miles so far.

It is a hydraulic clutch system, there are no cables used in any part of the system. It is basically a hydraulic operated plunger. If it is possible you should flush the clutch hydraulic unit the same time you flush the brake system.
