pressure relief valve

My thought is this valve should not open to release pressure until a certain oil pressure bar wise has went over the limit.
The left side is dry but the right side is wet.
I can only assume sludge buildup is raising the pressure in one of the banks.

I bought a new valve in case it is simply defective but it might make no difference.

Ironically the right side with the open valve is quiet whereas the left is noisy.

Any thoughts?
