I'll pile on with the thought it could just be condensation if the engine isn't run hot enough, and the oil in the pan looks good. Common in cold, humid weather.
If it's getting in the air cleaner the engine has excess blow-by (bad rings), or the PCV system is plugged, has a stuck valve or isn't plumbed correctly.
yup..but we are leaning toward the conclusion that the OP was clueless as to how the entire PCV system works and is supposed to be plumbed. IF..big 'if' at this point... he was actually simply routing/adding the crankcase vent air line to the air cleaner, then only one conclusion can be drawn: The engine is so completely toasted that the blowby exceeds what the PCV system can draw down, causing back-flow/blowback through the vent line. A healthy engine only has air going IN to the vent/supply line from the air cleaner..not out of it.
