Not too common. Ma put that fiberglass mat in there to stop vibrations from cracking it. Me I'd go ahead & replace it

I had a breather and PCV valve on my big block. a WOT blast would pop the dipstick out of the tube, and I cracked 2 of those pans.
took my breather out and examined it more closely. it was difficult to blow through it, the opening was barely punched open, and resembled the butterfly of a carb that was cracked open for a fast idle. I punched it out, and tried again. this time the filter element was so thick that it was still a struggle to blow through it.
I removed the dense thick filter stuff and put some very lightweight foam in there.
no more popped dipstick and no more cracked pans.
