Buschur Racing's oil/vapor catch cans!

I know this is bumping an old thread but thought this is the best place for this info.
A lot of guys see a milky substance on the bottom of there oil caps, I do too. I don't know if any of us have narrowed it down, it seems more common on E85. It has never been a concern of mine as I don't see it doing any harm what-so-ever to any engines/bearings etc. It seems more of a water vapor issue than anything.
SO here is an update I posted on the BR Facebook page today concerning this:
"Just a little bit of info to add here. Today I put all fresh fluids in my RS. The engine went in April of last year, I've been using Brad Penn 20-50 in it, Wix filter. This is the FIRST oil change I've done on the engine, yes, I know.....not good. BUT, I just want to say while the oil was a bit dirty, there was NO signs of any metal/copper in the filter when it was cut open AND while I run our catch can that returns the oil to the pan the oil was absolutely free of any signs of water/contamintion you see on the bottom of the oil caps. So it's all freaking good."

David,
What are your thoughts for running this with a lower hp evo (300-400 whp)? Is it needed? I went to install my anodized Buschur FMIC (posted pics on your Facebook page) and my stock setup had some oil in the bottom of the upper ic pipe. Now I did have the hose that goes from the valve cover to the cold air intake (inlet pipe) pop off for a while prior (crappy hose that needs to be replaced). So I'm not sure why that could/would cause more blowby, but I want to keep my FMIC clean now that I have the new one on. Please let me know your thoughts.
