Default catchcan getting some fluid in it- should i be worried???

just the other day i noticed my catchcan would **** out a small amount of fluid when i opened the drain on it. the liquid is pretty much clear and kinda smells like plastic/gas.. should i be concerned that its from blowby on my rings or could it just be like condensation or something non problematic

That's normal. It usually would just get burned up. Smells like paint thinner to me.

seems like it is doing it's job. I would only have cause for concern if suddenly there was noticeably more fluid than normal.
