Been noticing a strange fluid bubbeling sound coming from my car, if my clutch is depressed at a certain point and I give slight gas, I hear the fluid bubble sound, almost sounds like it comes from underneath the car close to where the handbrake is, but I might be wrong. Anyone know what this is? Should I worry?

Might be throw-out bearing in the clutch. Not that unusual with manual trans.

If you hear the throw-out bearing that's bad right

The throw out bearing thing is just a guess and not necessarly bad as some make noise from new but, usually when in neutral with clutch out.
