Another possibility is the hose going to the distributor.

I probably won't have happened on my morning commute if it weren't for the
260Z. I know that's no excuse. But I've seen him before, weaving through the
heavy traffic and then taking a death (and speeding ticket) defying leap for
it when traffic gets light after the airport turnoff. And my wife took her
car to work today, so I was in the Datsun and . . .
listmates, you'll be happy to hear that by b-cam SU '69 2000 blew his socks
off until, at 6700 RPM's the oil (20-50W) pressure got to be too much and I
blew a great big oil leak (I haven't cleaned up the mess so I can't report
what blew) although there is no signs of any internal engine problems.
There are two possible lessons take away from this: 1) I should learn to
drive more cautiously 2) I should put something on the engine to blead off
extra oil pressure.
Since lesson 1 is a new trick this old (actually mid-30's) dog isn't likely
to learn, I thought I'd ask if anyone had any suggestions for what to do
control oil pressure under heavy load.
