Default home made catch can question

i did a homedepot catch can and since it has turned cold i have noticed some condensation in my catch can. alot more water in it than oil.

I dont think i like it at all. I am gonna replace it but is this something that everyone sees or is this something different

you have to evacuate the positive crank case pressure, a honda uses vacuum do this by sucking it in the intake when the throttle is closed. but some times the air coming out of you crank case has oil in it and if it is sucked back into the intake it can get into you motor and create sludge and also brings down the grade of your octane, you put a catch can in line to filter out the oil and vwa la no oil in intake. very important to find a way to evacuate possitive pressure in turbo honda to not blow up ring lands


I think that covers it
