Red face Gooey Substance!!

Has anybody else noticed white creamy (I can't believe I'm writing these words!!) gooey blobs under their clutch pedal? Every now and again this stuff appears high up in the footwell on my mats, it looks like it's fallen from the hole where the pedal assembly is? Never had any clutch problems with the car and i've always just ignored it. But the other day it was a particulary big clump.

Any ideas what it is and where it's coming from please folks?....

Re: Gooey Substance!!

In the hot weather, the white grease on the clutch pedal pivot melts a bit. They pump it full of that stuff to lube it up and stop in creaking (missus)!!.

Cheers

No....and I've never found any in the back seat lol. The mystery deepens!

In all seriousness the explanation about them lubing up the clutch pivot with grease and it melting is most likely the answer. Thing is, is mine loosing too much?
