Condensation can/will build up in those lines and catch can. Especially if you start it up, move it out of the garage, then shut it down, or don't completely warm up the car every single time. If the catch can is metal, condensation can occur just by the ambient temps being too low, as well as in the hoses. If the oil in the engine doesn't look like your pics, you're fine. I the most I get is about a teaspoon from the LSA in the Camaro ZL1 and that's only if it's ran with the boost in positive pressure land a lot. I get nothing but maybe a drop or two from the in the L99 in the Camaro SS. And they're clean. No milk. I don't run a CC on any of my other cars.

Pretty much all of this applies to this situation... especially as of late where the truck got kicked outside a lot.

If your satisfied that's all that matters - that"s a little more than condensation and after setting the oil and water should have separated.

I have this same kind of stuff in my catch can on the Malibu. I know exactly what causes mine. I filed the ring gaps with an angle grinder, use sh*t pump gas with too much boost, my turbo is too small, my tune is sketchy, my right foot is too heavy, the head gaskets have been on three separate engines (not including how many times they have been on and off of each engine) and I keep reusing the stock TTY head bolts.

I love every second of it.

No, I got it from his brother... but, their cousin answered the emails.
