Default NOOB ? white oil NSFW

ok for some reason my catchcan is got this very thick white substance in it with the oil.
i was wondering, because i used white lithium grease to assemble everything would this be that grease just accumulating?
i dont believe it is coolant because it dosent flow like oil and i have a cometic HG which are rated for some ridiculous amount of boost that i wont be running. could it be the grease?
if it is im not gonna worry but if its something else i would want to know now while the car is down already.

Its most likely an oil/water emulsion from condensation in the crankcase.

Yeah exactly. I wouldn't be too concerned about what you find in your catch can. The first time I checked mine it looked like hell. I've seen a couple other cars with nasty ---- too. I had one guy tell me that was it and my motor was gonna blow because that was blow-by (lol no ----?). He was just a fuckass trying to get me to sell him my car cheap.

Ew. My catch cans have a combined 1/4 cup of thick molasses looking ---- in them, and yet I need to add oil every few weeks. I guess I just burn it or leak it in other places.
