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 *** 62-1 turbo sucked in about a quart of oil.
