Catch can with crap in it.... this normal? rWell I changed my oil a few minutes ago and when I took my catch can off to drain it, it was full of milky looking oil. It was a very light brown with sludge like pieces stuck in the bottom. When I took my oil cap off it had milky white stuff on the inside. I know the milky deal happens often but should the catch can be full of it and whats the fix for the milky cap if any? Thanks
Oh and forgot to mention after the heads/cam the car always would have a light blue smoke tint if you let it idle for decent amount of time but after a few revs it would stop. Don't know if that has to do with this but thought I'd throw it in there.

The pics didn't work but thats what it looked like was a blown head gasket. The oil that drained looked nice and black lol but what was in the catch can was a very light brown. Thanks

That happens to mine when I make a bunch of short trips in the car. I figured it wasn't getting warmed up long enough to burn off contaminates and condensation. In warmer weather, I don't notice it.

Yes, I get the same gunk. In fact, it hardened up on the bottom of the can and clogged the orifice so it wouldn't drain. I had to pull it off and it took working with solvent to get it all out.
