Certainly sounds possible, I would be inclined to take it off and give it a good wash out with hot detergent water. I wouldn't think oil by itself would block it but it may have a lot of crud stuck to it. If you could take a pressure reading either end that would confirm it, or temporaraly connect the in and out pipe together and try it.
