Chirping from engine bay

Recently replaced the belt after having oil get all over from the oil filter housing gasket. Figured that the sound could have been the belt being wet.. not the case

Any ideas what the sound could be? Belt tensioner? The car has been idling horribly and it seems to dip down around 500 rpm then back up.

Sounds like bad PCV, the noise is air being sucked through the crank seal.

Edit: Quick test to confirm is to open the oil fill cap. If the noise goes away, it's PCV.
