Default Clutch makes strange noise.

My 2007 Z is coming up on 30K and i have noticed that when i push in the clutch and ease off on it, while giving it a little gas, it (the clutch) makes a little squeak. It doesnt happen a lot, but sometimes when I'm at the light and when it turns green, i'll let off the clutch and there's that sound! Annoying. Can anyone give me a prognosis?... Does some part of the clutch needs to be oiled??? Any info would be great...thanks!!!

No telling without taking the clutch apart and inspecting: something you do not want to do. You can examine the linkage. A squirt of WD40 may help. As far as oiling the clutch thats a big NO. There is no (I hope) oil INSIDE the clutch.
