My 01 has a squeal until you pull the pcv valve or the dipstick out and it quits. Both have a suction to them. Is it a vacuum leak? If so where?

You might REPLACE your pcv. I have never known the dipstick to have suction.

Looks like the Plenum. A lot of oil on it. Hard to tell thru the TB if it is cracked though. Will have to pull it off to get a better look. Thanks.
