Catch can and Seattle???

[apaden]

I have a JMB air intake and catch can setup on my 05 QC. I live in the Seattle area and as i am sure we are all aware it rains here. I noticed some water/oil mixture building up around the filter on the catch can so i removed the catch can and dumped it out and there was about 1/4 cup of oil/water mixture in there. It was like an opaque liquidy sludge (if that makes any sense). What should I do about this?

Thanks!
Anthony

To keep what apaden discribed from being sucked back into the engine.....not completely necessary but the vapor can cause detonation under load..
