Default Water in catch can thats suppose to catch oil ? any one ever have that ?

Ok one of the first mods i did was to install a catch can to catch oil from going into intake from valve covers/valley on ls2 engine .

The vacuum line side of the catch can is running to my procharger air filter Oil in car looks clean/ car runs good / not losing any anti freezes.Been on car for 10k miles

Well i keep emptying it and its always half full of water and a very little bit of oil
looking like pure clean water looks drinkable!!! Tried lighting it on fire doesnt burn. Been putting it in a glass jar its evaporates out and only leaves what looks to be and very little bit of yellowish oil on bottom of jar.

Any ideas ? Im running a meth injection kit to raise octane and lower intake air temps could that be doing it only thing i can think of ?

Completely normal, this is just condensation. Normally this would end up in the oil pan, which is why it's good to always bring the oil up to operating temp(205 +).
