Clutch release squeak

I had my clutch replaced and RMS done. (about 2K ago) Did't notice until I had the radio off but when I release the clutch, I hear a light squeak. Not sure if anyone has encountered this, the clutch is fine, feels great. I think it maybe with the actual pedal.

Thoughts?

it could be the helper spring at the base of the pedal...

Thanks Joel, I haven't poked my head down there yet. Will have to check that.

This is a long shot, but if you are using ATE Super Blue brake fluid it can cause the seals in the slave cylinder to squeak. Unless you get under the car, the squeak sounds like it is coming from the pedal.

The squeak is coming from pedal area. looked into and it's from the help spring stretching.. sprayed some white grease.. Still squeaks little.. Wondering any one experienced similar issue/permanent solution.. I saw a TSB came out from Porsche(posted in Rennlist) to address this pedal squeak issue. primarily TSB says lubricate. See 4th posting on this link.

I also had a squeak coming from my clutch pedal area. Was able to get under the dash and pinpoint the location. A couple short bursts of silicone spray did the trick. All quiet now.

This is a very common problem, but nobody should be using silicone spray, WD40, or any similar lightweight lubricants. The pedal needs grease on the pivot point!
