I donno but stop with the caps.

It could be a bad oil pump, or clogged pipe somewhere, clogged air hose, or oil hose

dont jump to conclusions check your oil pressure with a mechanical guage first before you try and tear anything a part you can remove the oil sending unit usually located on the oil filter adapter housing and screw in the mechanical guage and check the pressure then you will know if its any oil pump or something else if anything
