oil and fuel in catch can? problem ?
starting to get oil and a bit of fuel in my catch can in my single turbo fd.
any thoughts on what it could be?
only under high boost.
happened after the track (road coarse)
any info would help... should i be worried? or is it ok ?

Do you have the OMP? its a known fact that fuel gets mixed with oil through the ( Oil metering pump ) this is one of the reasons why we're supposed to use such thick oil , because the fuel gets mixed with the oil and deludes it and thins it out.
I used to use Klots premix in my fuel it has a unique smell , and everytime I checked my oil stick if you smelled it you could smell the klotz mixed with the oil .

The OMP doesn't contribute to oil dilution, that's a one-way system injecting oil into the motor. Blowby happens in the combustion chamber, that's what dilutes the oil. This is common on all rotaries.
That's normal to have a weird mix of crap in your catch can, nothing to worry about.

If its excessive fuel dilution (really really strong smelling) you could have a couple problems.
VERY RICH TUNE; I mean ridiculously rich.
You keep flooding out the car while attempting to start.
Sideseal clearance is poor.
Oil control rings won't matter here. If they were bad you would receive smoking. It's normal to have a little fuel smell to the oil, it's a common thing with rotary engines.

Since converting my OMP to run Redline Racing 2 cycle oil, adding 8 oz of Pettit Protek-R to a full tank of gas for more lubrication, and going WI; my blow by has decreased and compresssion has increased.

and HEY! CEWRX7r1 I actually read that on a thread a few months ago haha But still glad to know the real reason for it .
I have a RA adapter as well and running redline 2-cycle synthetic. I also premix a little (4-5oz per tank) and I have no blowby at all and my catch can is empty.
Car runs like a champ. I run 14.0:1 AFR down to 11.2-11.5:1 AFR at full boost 15PSI 6,000 ft.
