Blow by at breather tube
 
So took off my GS intake and saw this. Seems excessive especially considering it's the breather tube. I'm at 91k miles NA with a decent amount of aggresive use (canyon, autox, etc).

I don't know a ton about this so coming to you guys for help. Should I be worried about something? Invest in a catch can maybe? Is there a way to check the PCV since that is where most blow by goes from my understanding?

You get more blow-by if you're partial throttle under cornering than at WOT. ;)

Well that would explain it since thats most of my driving. Would I benefit from a catch can you think? Or just take a lesson from you and @CSG Mike on driving WOT more:burnrubber: lol

Depends how coated the walls are. It's probably a good idea to get a catch can setup at this point. :thumbup:

The walls of the tube were actually pretty clean except for the very end. But a catch can seems like cheap insurance. Thanks for the advice.
