What you are describing is the breather. The original oil cap on a 3000 was on the valve cover, and should be fairly obvious if it is there. But it is possible that the engine was replaced at some point with one from a later model, in which case the valve cover would not have an oil fill port or cap, and instead the oil fill cap would be on the right side of the engine up near the front, just below the front of the fuel injection pump.
