When I took the factory breather off to try and install the can, I stuck my pinky finger in the tube to check how much oily residue was in there. After ~56K miles there was a very, very light film on the metal part of the hose that attaches to the downpipe. The film was a light tan color and very thin. I easily wiped it off. I was a bit surprised (and pleased) that there was so little residue in the tube; especially considering part of it is corrugated plastic.
