Knocking/Creaking Sound on Clutch Let-Up

Hey Guys,

'08 MC here, with only about 12K km's on it.

I've noticed lately that more often than not I get a creaking/knocking sound from the right side of the car (seems to be in the engine bay on the passenger side) when I let up the clutch. Doesn't matter how gently I let up the clutch. It sounds like some kind of mount knocking, but then again I'm not particularly mechanically inclined.

The only other anomaly I've noticed prior to this is a little bit of judder in the clutch, and a lumpy idle, but only once in a while (I've mentioned these to the dealer but they couldn't reproduce it). Sometimes I hear the engine "clunk" as a put the car in 1st (with the clutch fully depressed).

Any thoughts/stab-in-the-dark diagnoses?

I'm definitely bringing this up with the dealer--the question is whether to wait a month until the 2-year service, or to call them now.

Cheers!
