Hi everybody,
So what I have is a fully stock 95 GS-T with 72,xxx miles on it. I've never had a problem with it and it is rarely pushed hard.
A few weeks ago, I noticed a soft hiss sound from the engine bay every time I shut off the car. Today, the sound is noticeably louder.
Here's a YouTube link to a recording of my car shutting off:

Thank you so much for the help in advance!
 
I would imagine the high pitched squeal at shut off is related? The only guess I can give you based on a healthy running engine is that your pcv valve might be gummed up or blocked causing excess crankcase pressure to slowly leak by after shutoff.
 
Mine does it even if I crank it two or three times without starting it, I think it's part of the EVAP system. I have a brand new OEM PCV valve and it did it before and after it was replaced.
