Default stuff in my catchcan

i thought catchcans were supped to collect oil? mine has about 2 oz of clearish liquid in it after about 200 miles, it just looks like dirty fishtank water, kinda cloudy with a hint of yellow

but i think its working right because it doesnt seem like oil vapor is comming out of my valve cover filter like before i had a source of suction connected to the pcv

Yeah. Ever look on the inside of the oil cap? Sometimes theres a yellowish mushy crap in there if it hasn't been cleaned in a while. Same crap is going into the catchcan.
