Realize that this is the clean side we are capping off, when used with the RX breather in place of the stock oil cap. There was oil in this clean side tube leading from the valve cover into the intake, so some oil certainly gets into the intake in stock configuration, but not really that much.

The dirty side is the tube that is being rerouted through a catch can, this is where oil ingestion into the intake is problematic, especially at wide open throttle. There are many other threads for install of the catch can itself on here.
