I'm getting alot of water in my line comming from the catch can as well as in the catch can. I have it mounted in front of my radiator. The only thing I can think of is that the can and line are getting too cool and producing excessive condensation. Does this sound correct or is it something else? Thanks

The catch can is supposed to be in a cool place so it can condensate. The main reason you have a catch can is to catch that crap your talking about. Arent you happy thats not going into your intake? :D

The only thing I could recommend is to keep emptying the can. Every motor is different.

I come from a land down under
Josh: It might be better mounted over by the brakes as you may have too much of a temp differential and have made a really good 7M still!

Vixen: In all the time I ran mine I never got a drop in it either so during the rebuild I didn't refit it! (I take this as a sign of a healthy motor)

Thanks. I think thats what happening. I made it work too good. Its been on for about 2 months and the can is about 1/4 filled with water and a little oil. I might keep it there because I dont want any of that going back in my engine. At least I know that I'll be getting my moneys worth out of the can.
