It would be great if someone does a DIY on how to do this.

Including what type of lube and how much to use.
Never mind found the diagram a page or so back.

I lubed the exposed part. No Joy.

With the proper scope could you get to the fork without cracking open the bell housing?
There's a bit of clearance between the fork lever and the housing when you pull the boot up from the housing.

BTW: That bell housing boot doesn't seal very well, Wouldn't surprise me if water from rain and car washing gets in there and causes issues.

I'll answer my own question.

Pulled back the rubber boot around the clutch fork today and sprayed white lithium grease randomly inside the housing (with clutch in and out) and the squeak went away and it feels buttery smooth now.

Protips:
1) The bottle doesn't spray upside down, which makes maneuvering it into place difficult. It is possible to orient the can vertically on the drivers side of the bell housing to spray in grease.
2) Put a piece of tape to tether the spray straw to the can. The first one I had fell off into the bell housing.

I'll report back later on how long this fix lasts.
