The modification causes major suction at the oil filler neck. This is the reason there are so many reports of increased oil consumption...the oil is actually being sucked out of the engine and then dumped into the throttle body without passing through the oil catch. In other words, oil (not just fumes) is being dumped into your intake. Not only is your throttle body getting gunked up royally from this but your fuel's octane is being reduced and you are more likely to suffer from pre-detonation.
The suction is strong enough to suck air in through the oil cap. When the air is moist or humid, the moisture collects and then mixes with oil to make the crud under the cap that you refer to.
