Default PCV air filter mod??

I did this mod recently using the Campell Hausfield filter & after 300 miles
of normal driving collected about one teaspoon full of oil.My question to
you all who done this mod concerns the color or appearance of the oil collected in the cup mine appears cloudy kind of like coffee with cream in it or
oil that has water mixed in with it.Like to know your experiences or thoughts.

TIA

The oil in mine is black, like soy sauce.
