So i fitted a catch can a couple months back, probably cover 300miles since having it installed. Whenever i drain it, usually after each journey its got some water in it, condensation no doubt. But last time i checked i had done 100miles with some hard driving and it had an oily water mix of probably about 25ml in it, it was very watery i'd guess 75% water.
Anything to worry about?

Wouldn't worry too much. Temp's have been all over the shop and it depends how those 100 miles have been done too - if theyve been 10x10mile drives, then condensation is just a given.
Yer definitely nothing to worry about if its been sitting. Its ridiculous how much water vapour can appear - just sitting in breather hoses etc over time. Glad to hear she's still out there and being used!
