Can a spark plug cause an engine Squeak?
Spark plugs can cause a squeak as well, but wouldn’t disappear when you pull the dipstick. OP…..you are describing a dry crankshaft seal. There have been several members that had this experience and seal replacement resolved it. By design, this engine has a high crankcase vacuum and all seals endure rather high negative pressure.
Why does my car Squeak under the hood?
Past few months I’ve been hearing a squeaking coming from under the hood of my car. At first I thought it was the serpentine belt, so I replaced it with no luck. Then I thought it was the serpentine belt tensioner, so I replaced that with no such luck.
What can I do about squeaky engine seal?
I ordered a new seal (GM #25193519), a new harmonic balancer bolt (GM #9129242), and a new harmonic balancer, because it was cheap and figured since I was already in there… (GM #55574771).
What causes oil to squirt over top of engine?
The squeak is the dipstick not sealing properly. I’m going to guess that one or both of the O-rings on the bottom of the dipstick are cracking. If they were broken you’d have oil squirting over the top of your engine. Loose spark plug (s)? In short, the crankcase is part of the PCV system which is tied to the air intake.

Why does my engine squeak when I change the valve cover?
While searching the forum, I came across the PCV valve issue threads so I’ve since replaced the valve cover thinking it was the PCV valve, but again, the squeak is still there. I then did the PCV valve/Intake manifold mod, and again, it’s still squeaking! Also while having the intake removed to do the PCV mod, I also ported the intake manifold.
