Are you running a PCV as well? If you are running a PCV as well, this is indicative of excess blowby, if you are NOT running a PCV and just traight breathers, its normal, its just an avg. amount of blowby, all cars have it.

NO, you will suck air through the motor, it will go in the breather and out the PCV into the intake. If you are blowing smoke OUT the breather then you have more blowby than the PCV can handle. I took a look at mine today, (breather in one, PCV in the other) and saw no smoke, nor is the breather medium oily or the hood/strut brace directly above it.
