If you have a factory clutch master cylinder, it's probably the spring on the rod under the rubber boot.
I had the same problem and noticed it when I was reviewing some video footage I took from my camera I had mounted in the car. I found the spring was broken into three pieces.
Good luck... let us know what you actually find.
