Cold Weather - OCC Frozen Contents?

Here's what the JLT 3.0 collected after 221 miles of driving in temps between 0F and 40F. I didn't see any oil droplets. It reeks of fuel though, so it is most likely the fuel vapor separated by the factory oil vapor separator. I'm not sure if this is a good sign or not. Am I supposed to see oil in the JLT driving in the winter?  This was about 1 oz of fluid, quite a bit. However, this fluid would have combusted just fine after passing through the intake manifold, and may even help with cleaning the intake valves?

The JLT on my 4.6 3V Mustang GT collects oil like crazy, but that is only driven during the summer.
 
Does the JLT only hook up to the IM port, or does it also attach to the intake somewhere?

If you still have your can contents, pour it into a clear plastic bottle and seal it up. Let it settle undisturbed for a few days and see how it separates.
My last drain was mostly water and a very mild fuel smell. Doesn't take much to give it a smell, but the separation could be very telling.

The JLT installs in-between the intake manifold and factory oil vapor separator on the rear valve cover.

I've never seen water or fuel vapor in the JLT on my Mustang GT, it was always 100% engine oil.
