Need some insight

Hello fellow Evo owners,
I'm just a noob on here looking for some advice. I noticed recently my catch can was over flowing and when I went to empty it, it was kind of milky and looked like water was in there. So, I'm thinking somehow coolant got in there, but, the car for the most part runs fine. I recently changed the oil and it looked fine, still does, and there's plenty of coolant in the radiator. The motor was also recently rebuilt, barely has over 1000 miles on it. I'm posting this from my phone and I can't see a link to attach a picture, or I would. Thanks for any advice.

If you think it's pushing coolant do a compression test

I didn't think to smell it, but I did some looking around and I guess its kind of normal. A lot of other people saying its condensation mixing with the oil. I'm in Louisiana, and its REALLY, REALLY humid out here, so I can see that making sense with all the moisture in the air.

Thanks for anyone who's taken the time to look at this and give their input. If anyone else thinks different, I'd appreciate your point of view as well.
