It's not a problem, as long as it's not thick black sludge it's throwing out 
The point of that breather is to recycle oil fumes from the bottom end of the engine, so that's all you're seeing. If it's particularly heavy it may be that your filter needs changing, which is (supposedly, I've not tried it) a pig of a job to do without removing the engine, as it's right at the back of the engine with no room to tap it in.. so probably something best left to someone who's paid to get frustrated with cars
