Best Answer

Air pressure could be pushing the oil cap because of trapped air in the line. A mechanic could better diagnose the issue by inspecting the vehicle.

there is a problem with the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system. this system circulates crankcase air and oil particles in the air back into crankcase by pushing them back somewhere back through the intake. there is probably a problem with the PCV valve stuck open allowing too much oil to pass through it subsequently collecting on your air filter.
