So, heard back from the dealer today. I'm only updating this in the event someone else comes across the issue.

Apparently there is an issue with the crankshaft seal and the engine de-pressurizing. When the engine releases pressure it isn't releasing properly due to a faulty seal. So they've ordered the seal and hopefully this solves the issue.

Note: I am in no way "car literate" and this is just what the dealer told me.

Hey Goose,

Funny enough I started my 13' Cruze this morning and had some weird clicking/squeeling going on from what sounded the top left of the engine, could be lower didn't want to get in there too much. Did you hear this at all when starting your car and did you ever hear any clicking to what I can describe as a piece of plastic hitting a spoke of a bicycle wheel.
