air escaping? like pressure build up?

there should be a pressure relief valve built into the oil pump, but this is usually the case when the oil pressure is high.

Yep, that could be a bad PCV valve. It's cheap to replace, but I recommend you don't buy an aftermarket one if you don't mind spending ~$10 at the dealer.

That pressure should be relieved through the intake (hose from air intake to valve cover). Make sure there aren't kinked hoses.
