its moisture, chang your oil,
it happens to a lot of domestic cars and VW's

just changed my oil twice in like 500 miles cause i had to remove my filter to get at stuff. and my car is not domestic or a vw. and obviously its moisture... why theres moisture and not oil in there is what i want to know

moisture can buildup in the can just from the air. Not necessarily moisture in your turbo.

put some kind of bleeder valve in that line to the turbo, your turbo pulls way to much air(vacuum) for the PCV system, and you will be ridding you motor of any and all it has. its prbably a mixture of gas/oil combo and moisture, i did this too, till my expensive ass 62-1 turbo sucked in about a quart of oil.
