Default please help!!

So I just did my valve cover gasket..took the car for a drive and apparently the passenger side gasket came off and I had oil everywhere..So took the car apart again and fixed the issue except now I have a terrible squeal noise coming from what seems like behind the throttle body and I have no idea why. Anyone ever hear of this?

Could be a very small vacuum leak.
I had a small vacuum leak on an oil catch can line and it emitted a high pitched scream/whistle.

found the culprit. There was a tiny spot where my plenum gasket was bent right behind the throttle body .I don't know how i didn't catch it during install but looks like ill be picking up a new gasket. i reinstalled the plenum and put my finger where the gasket was bent and the noise stopped thanks for the help fellas i had no idea a leak could sound like that
