I think most people would consider the sump or maybe the pump to be the start of the oil system and not the filler neck. You sort of make it sound like the cover is under pressure and excess packing is going to get blasted away when in reality oil simply drains through it with gravity. I just don’t see packing breaking away because some oil dribbled on it. Anyways, I’ve not see the reports of loose packing in the pan. I’ll have to do some digging tomorrow.
