This didn't happened before, I left my car at home for 1 week and after I came back from holiday, I try to start my car for a warn up, after the engine started I open the main oil filter cap, I realize there suddenly air blowing out from it, I had send my car to some workshop for some valve check, all valve and air hose are in good condition, what happens to my car?

Air is produced in the combustion chamber via compression bypassing the cylinder rings. ALL cars do this. There is a PCV valve that is to recirculate the crankcase emissions back into the engine. First, don't be too worried about this happening. They all do it to some degree. However, I do recommend that you checked the PCV system and make sure it is producing a vacuum to help draw the crankcase emissions out of the engine.
