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.

 

Sorry, but why do you think its called a 'catch'can?

haha true. ive always had mine stay dry, this is the first time ive got fluid in it. oh well boost is goin up tonight anyway haha

 

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

 

it is probably water vapor and a little of oil or unburnt fuel, blowby gases are part water

yea, the lines running to the can are rather dry and not dripping oil
