Nice! Seeing that makes me think motors with a modified PCV system could go longer between oil changes.

Any amount of that goop being ingested certainly won't do any good, but might do harm..
So what might possess someone to run al, that gunk through their intake? All the fuss about valve deposits and carbon'd up heads and you put that past your valves. Cleanliness is next to godliness! Or at least in this case, cleanliness is next to good cfm and valve seating

The oil on top is from the valve cover to pre turbo air intake. It is basically clean pure oil that gets sucked into the intake track when the turbo is in boost.
The gunky looking majority of the stuff is from the PCV side and is mostly water and light hydrocarbons, If left out it will evaporate into almost nothing. But will carbon up the backs of the valves.
