Oil fill breathing

I'm kinda a noob to the Honda world, but do the Fits breath a lot out the oil fill when running?

There isn't any vapor or anything, but there does seem to be a fair amount of air puffing out the oil filler.

I'm used to pushrod motors, so maybe this is a OHC thing...

Car is an '09 with 20k on the clock, so I find it tough to believe there would be any engine damage/wear that soon.

Thanks,

That's normal, just leave the filler cap on.

Thanks,
I don't think its an OHC thing.. i had Mustang's Pushrod AND Modular (OHC) and they both had that oil line with pressure going thru it to return the oil to the TB if it comes out.
