2.6 Blowing out oil filters

My son's Rodeo had a massive oil dump on the road. After putting in a new filter and oil we were able to see that the oil was blowing out of the top of the oil filter. We ran the same test with another new filter; this time screwed in very tight and with the same result. My guess is either extremely high oil pressure or clog somewhere. My Haynes manual barely mentions the 4 cylinder, so I am having a difficult time knowing if we should remove the oil pump or the part that the oil filter connects to. I spoke to 2 mechanics, and they have never seen this problem. Has anyone else ever seen this problem? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
