Look what I caught in my catch can! What the hell is this stuff? I just finished installing the system, and drove around for about 45 min of "spirited driving" This is what was in the can when I was done. There wasnt very much, and there was no oil. I forgot to take a pic of the filter by the TB, but there was a little yellow gunk caught in it.

Looks like really dirty Antifreeze with some kinda of gunk in it..... 
All a catch can is supposed to do is catch coolant when the coolant overflows from the radiator and then it sucks it back up when it needs coolant..

When I dump my catch can the **** that comes out is looks just like that, maybe a little thicker. It's basically emulsified oil - water, oil & air all whipped up.
