Clutch issues

Need your views.
Recently, say 1-2mths i feel the clutch is not as light and smooth. There is a sound like cracking metal and rough feel to it. Its much like a twin clutch feel except the biting point and the same and the immediate response on the clutch is still as stock.
The car is drive fast, loud and aggressive 60 - 70% of the time as tis car is more like a toy. There is another ride for daily use due to obvious reason with the morning jams.
The millage is abot 28k and its abt 1.5 yrs since i got the car. Its fresh from the port and not a second hand car.
Initially tried to lubricate it but the proble is still there. According to the mechanic its the pump thats causing tis. If Ican live with it then problem solve. if not change pump. The problem again is there is no guaranttee its the clutch pump and the sound only appears during hot day and after prolong driving. ESPECIALLY in jams. During cold start of short late night drives its ok. Even in track i dun find it affecting me at all. BUT its the jams and slow drives i find it super annoying.
Should i change clutch fuild to see if it helps? or shd i change the pump?
Wat will u do?
