squeaky clutch / soft spot while depressing

hi, i've looked for this all over the forum & i can't find anything on a squeaky clutch, (maybe i'm blind) but anyways, is there anyway to fix that squeak? i notice it mostly is there when there's humidity outside , i'm thinking its the throw out/pilot bearing is there a way to get to that without removing the tranny & lubricate it??? also I recently noticed when depressing my clutch in about 1/4 of the way there's some type of a soft spot there that wasn't there before, my car has over 80K clutch is not slipping, there is no fluid leakage , i know the master cylinder goes on our cars what are the symptoms of that?, my pedal is not sticking half way down like others or anything like that, just that soft spot that i noticed now.

i think i eliminated my squeak by lubricating the clutch fork, i took the operating cylinder out and took the rubber boot off the fork and lubricated everything as far as my fingers went in, i prolly should've bought some white grease and just spray it would've been easier, i also got a lot of the air in the system and had to bleed it, my cylinder piston came out and fluid started leaking, when u take it out the operating cylinder make sure that piston dosen't pop out

damn it, i've bled the clutch system 3 times now, after leaving the car overnight when i first get in my first few pumps feel a bit softer, then the pedal gets a little harder to depress i can't remember if that's how it always was, or maybe i haven't bled the system good enough, does anybody know?
