Default PCV: Breather Guys

I noticed recently that after about 15k miles the filter I've got on my oil filler cap is saturated with oil ... and its splattered a few drops of oil onto plug wires. Anybody else notice this? Or is this a sign of a problem?

It is an accumulation of the oil vapor caught in the cotton gauze filter. Rinse, wash, and repeat as necessary. Draw back to venting into atmosphere.
