Mine popped out because I blocked an oil drain in the cam cover with sealant. I was replacing the solenoid on the right rear of the engine.

My guess would be that something is restricting the oil drain. Don't know about a bad AOS.

Sure does make a mess, tho.

This is one cause, sometimes it just comes out due to poor fitment from manufacturing.

Update

So thanks for helping me find the cam plug. So after installing my new cam plug, I let the car idle for about 5 minutes. Everything appeared normal. Then the rpms started to rise and idle around 2000 rpms. So I check under the car and the new cam plug blew out again. What is causing the plug to keep popping out?
