Default Coolant in catch can?

I had some coolant in my catch can so I did a leak down, compression test ,drained oil into clear jug no coolant in oil and no oil in the coolant. Has any one seen this before? Thanks

was it green coolant or milky brown sludge? if it was milky brown then it was probably just condensation. common with vented cans. unless you are seeing it in your radiator, there probably is nothing to worry about
