What breather are we talking about here?

Assuming it's the engine crankcase breather, I'd imagine it's perfectly normal. If the stock setup recirculates back into your air intake, try an oil catch can to keep the oil out of your intake.

My old 3.1 had the same problem,it only had 80k on it and I did another 70,000km with it like that, no problem.
There is a crowd in ChCh that do a setup as its very common on Isuzu motors, which can also cause oil to weap form the rear main seals due to pressure build up.
