watery/oily mix in catch tank
watery/oily mix in catch tank
Checked my breather catch tank and noticed a rather watery/oily solution in it. More water than oil!
Could this be condensation in the catch tank? Oil in the oil pan looks fine.
Can the engine breather dump coolant as well??

Is it just water, or specifically radiator coolant?
Open your radiator cap and see if there is oil on the surface of the coolant.
If coolant and oil are mixing, you likely have a warped head or bad head gasket or both.

Just read this, I would have also said it's condesation. The tank gets hot and then cools down and the other way round. Through that you get condensation, also the temperature changes when the car is stationary.

so if your tank catches the condensation, that's good!
