Unhappy Squeaking in the under the valve cover!

I need advice here. I am on a new build with my sideoiler and about 200 miles since Keith had it. Now I am having a squeaking from under the passenger side valve cover at lower RPM (at least that is when I hear it). It is loud enough that it can be heard from in the car at stop signs. When I increase the RPMs, either I drown out the sound with exhaust or it goes away...can't tell which. I have not gotten under the cover (hot car) yet, but what should I be looking for and any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. There is new oil in it, just changed today (10W-40 per Keiths instruction sheet). good pressure..45-50 idle/hot and at speed, 70-80psi. I did look in the valve cover breather hole and I can see oil spraying around in there when I increase the RPMs of the car. What usually causes a squeak in the valve train?

Thanks
Buzz
