LOL! Yes thats normal. These engines have the "Positive Crankcase Ventilation" system, or PCV. It uses vacuum to draw crankcase gases back into the intake to be reused. Thats typically why you get gunk build up in the intake area. By taking off the oil cap or taking out the dipstick, you cause a vacuum leak.
