Catch can ~ Brown oil? I had made a catch can out of pvc pipe and today I went to empty the oil and from a brown milky oil in it. What the heck is that? Its conected to the pcv valve. I changed my oil in my car and the oil that drained from the crank case was normal. Any ideas on what this could mean?

If you do a search you might find that a few people have gotten moisture in their cans. The moisture may have mixed with your oil causing a brown sludge in the can. I have no personal experience with this but I have read a few post about moisture in the can and on oil caps. I think that if your engine oil was fine then you are OK.

Yes, that brown diarrea looking stuff is normal to find in a catch can. I think we all have that....
