I would not expect anything to be in the catch can after only 50 miles. It's already been said that you have low compression in all 4 cylinders, so that is probably the problem.

I just re-read your post #21. You said there was even oil on the MAF sensor. There is another check valve right there, where the line into the valve cover snaps into the air inlet hose. If that valve is bad, it could dump oil into the inlet hose, and the tiny snorkel in there could blow it onto the MAF, and then run back down to the turbo.

I cleaned intake tube before installing catch can into that line. So that last picture is showing all that crap after driving only 50 miles. And like I sad there was some water in the catch can. That line that you are talking about is new. That valve is working. Already checked. Will have to double check the compression with different gauge. Is it even possible for all cylinders to loose compression at pretty much same rate??

Ok. Went to different store to get compression gauge. This time measured it dry and wet. The reading for dry were 130,125,125,130. The wet test showed 140,135,130,140. Am I f...ed??

A tad low, but not dreadful.

From an old thread: Per GM, the readings for the 2.0/2.2/2.4 Ecotec engines should be between 155-180psi in each cylinder on a compression test, GM specs state that there should not be more than a 70% variation between the highest and lowest cylinder.
So his readings are WAY low as noted in several posts earlier.
