Just recently I have a weird sound right after I start the car. It's a high pitched sound that only lasts about second and starts right after the engine is started and not while it's cranking. I've traced it to the back of the motor and I know that my clutch is starting to go out, so does anybody know if this could be causing it?

I would be inclined to blame the pilot bushing or the throw-out bearing

Maybe pilot bushing, but i doubt it's the throwout bearing. Doesn't matter whether the clutch is in or out, it just does it as soon as it's started up and doesn't make a sound again until it's started up again.
