My 2001 chevy venture keeps blowing oil filter gaskets. I had someone tell me that it might be the oil pump reg. value, oil pressure switch. Ive looked everywhere and cant find where it is located on the 3.4 litter. Anything to help would be greatly appreciated.

check to see if pvc valve is not stuck or blocked off. sounds as though the crankcase is builing to much pressure. also is it blowing any smoke out of the exhaust?

Not blowing any smoke but before it done this it was ticking. Would that have something to do with it?
