Default Catch can catches clear jelly like substance...Anyone w/same problem?

Sup guys,

I have a z10 catch setup with my boosted b18 motor via the back of the block with two hoses. Funny thing that i'm been catching or getting is a clear jello like substance in the clear tubing that i can see thru. And in the catch can..it's clear liquid like water. Did my catch can become a dehumidifier somehow? I wonder if anyone is getting the same thing with the hot humid weather we're having. This is on a fully fresh built motor.

I'm using "Red Orange" color coolant...so it's not the coolant. It's clear jelly like forming in the hose...and clear water in the catch can.

Comments/Inputs are appreciated. This thing is driving me nut. Not sure exactly what it is...the car is running fine...no smoke, no oil in the coolant...havent check for the water in the oil yet...
