The issue doesn't appear to be a problem with the breather per se, but with an OEM PCV component. The "oil-leaking" breather seems to expose the presence of a blockage elsewhere in the PCV system. I wonder how much oil collects in the trap on the OEM clean-air line when that orifice plugs up. The aesthetic improvement using the breather-cap was worth it to me because I didn't want to use the big retro-looking breather that came with the Vararam dangling off the OEM line. The breather cap is functionally equivalent with the exception of the oil-trap that exists on the OEM line (at least I think that's what the thing in the middle of the OEM line is)
