Oil is pumped around the engine. If there is water in the oil, that too is pumped around the engine.
If the engine is water cooled, I would remove the head, if it is warped, have it skimmed and then refit with a new gasket.
If it is air cooled, condensation is common. Replace the oil and any filter.
Problem is not your radiator--unfortunate for you. It's more likely the water pump. The water pump pumps the water around through your radiator to be cooled and then through the engine block to cool your motor. Before you go tearing the water pump out though, you may want to check to see if your fan belt is in good condition and working properly because the water pump works off of the fan belt turning the pulley to pump the water around. If the fan belt is off that pulley, it may need to be put back on or re-routed correctly to start pumping the water.
Then if that is not your problem, the water pump will probably need to be replaced. I believe it can be accessed from underneath the engine compartment, but first you will have to take the tension off the fan belt and remove the belt, then loosen the bolts around the front of the water pump. Put a catch pan under the car though because all your water/antifreeze will come gushing out. That water pump should be available at your local AutoZone or another auto parts store for around $100.
The squeal come from under could be an belt Squealing try spraying with wd40 and check the water is curclating ie ( air lock) do ti new radiator .if not check water level or thermostat
back belt nearest the engine goes around the crankshaft pulley and the power steering pump
next belt out goes around crankshaft, power steering pump water pump and ac compressor
next belt goes around crankshaft water pump and alternator
last belt goes from water pump to smog pump
Take WD-40 and spray it around the engine, when the engine idle comes up, the vacuum leak is in the area you where just spraying. From there you'll need to investigate more closely by hand around that part of the engine.
most likely a problem with the water circulation around the heater core. if you've never used the heater, some vehicles have a hot water shut-off valve for the heater hoses. another possibility is the thermostat had been removed. the easiest way is to start the vehicle and slowly allow it to warm up monitoring the water temperature. it should heat up to normal water temperature, then heat up and then drop down. the thermostat is usually around 180 degrees or 192 degrees. it allows the water around the engine block to heat up then once it reaches 180 or whatever it opens up circulating the cooler water from the radiator into the engine block and pushing the hotter water into the radiator to cool off. no thermostat, then the water keeps constantly circulating not allowing it to properly heat up. this can slow the heater down, lower fuel economy, alot of things especially in the winter driving...
if you see the water leaking form the front side of the engine usually from the water pump since the pump is not running you also wont get heat, bit when you pressurise the sys you are forcing the hot water into the core and you have heat, it is the water pump.
wat kind of car u have. year.
