I think you have it backwards I think that is a vacum line and the air flow from the filter is sucking out of the engine it could just be comming out of the engine. Its like if you blow across the top of a straw and put your finger at the other end you should feel the vacum effect. I'm not totaly sure about this but you would have to have oil moving against the incoming air (kind of like pissing into the wind) and up into the tube for that to be possible. So I think the throtle body isn't in danger but like I said I'm realy not sure.
