Squeak from clutch slave cylinder

Hello everyone, new member but long time reader. love these forums

I currently own a 2009 Pontiac Vibe 1.8 liter with a 5-speed manual transmission. Every time I push my clutch pedal down and release I hear squeaking coming from under the hood. So I got my wife in the car and popped the hood. She would press/release the clutch pedal while I listened. I noticed the sound coming from the clutch slave cylinder (believe that's what it's called). Is there anyway to grease or lube this part. I can remove the one rubber boot, but i'm not sure about the other one.

has anyone else had this issue with a manual clutch? any suggestions before I take it to a shop?

Thanks for any info.

Blah was searching wrong area i guess:

Had a similar issue on my 09. Had the car at the Dealer for the window switch recall and had them look a squeeling clutch throwout bearing sound. They cleaned and lubed the slave cylinder assy. under warranty as it was also the cause of the throwout bearing noise as well. Mind you they had my car for 3 days to find and fix this issue.
