Well I changed the pump today anyway since it was on the agenda next month. Squeal went away for about 5 min and came back. After looking around I noticed the timing cover had little tiny bubbles coming out the top of it. Think it might be the balancer pulley making noise for getting oil leaked on it? I cleaned everything behind the pump while it was off, so I'm guessing that's why it didn't make any noise for a few minutes.

Ended giving up and let a shop look at it. They thought it was the idler from using a stethoscope, but it didn't help. Turned our to be the belt. POS Autozone belt was the problem the whole time. Replaced that and she's back to normal.
