Clutch sounds!
Hi all,
Did an oil change on my 96 LT4 today, and went through my fluids as the previous day I noticed a sound when I pressed my clutch in. Sure enough, clutch fluid reservoir was empty, so I topped it up and pressed the pedal to try it out. Both at idle and when driving, when I fully depress the clutch it creates a sound that sounds either like air hissing or some high pitched scraping, it's a bit hard to describe. I've had no problems shifting, but obviously the sound is concerning.
What do y'all think it is, and what should I do? Is it just not bled properly? I'm hoping I don't have to drop the transmission, as I don't really have the time or money to do so at the moment but it's summer and I want to drive

Ok, that makes sense I was just looking for if there was another possibility. To confirm, the sound was first noticed yesterday and then again today, but never at all before that. Would it come in that suddenly? Its very noticeable, can hear it with music on at a decent volume, certainly with it off, and its very loud with the hood open.
