Engine started with a squeek and intermittent oil light flashing. Squeek continues intermittently while driving. After some research, thought it may be AOS. However, pulled oil cap while running, no excess vacuum, and engine idle dropped appropriately. Does this still sound like the AOS? Or is this another issue? Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

If the oil light is flashing I'd check the oil pressure with a guage or pull the oil filter to see if there is any garbage in it. I would not drive the car until the issue is diagnosed as the light is flashing due to low pressure.

Squeek continues intermittently while driving.
We need more on this. Under what conditions? Answer and the pundits will narrow this down.

For what its worth I remember years ago a friend of mine ran across this and it was a broken spring in the oil pressure relief valve
