No but I'd check your main engine oil level.

You may have overfilled it?

Mine is usually 3/4 full in about 2000 miles. I wouldn't be worried about anything, but check it sooner next time so that you dont accidently let it overflow into the intake.

I think it varies by truck, because my BT catch can takes a long time to fill up too! Definitely not in 2000 kms!

There is nothing unusual about that kind of accumulation.
It seems like a lot, but it took almost two years to accumulate 20 ounces of funky milkshake from my catch can--and yes, I saved it to see just how much yilch I could keep from gunking up the inside of my intake manifold in response to all the doubters and catch can bashers here on RF. Silly, silly little people.

After 2700 miles, mine was barely 1/3 full. Remember, the PCV system is opened/closed by vacuum pressure - more throttle will keep the PCV closed, limiting the amount of oil that would make it through into the can. Drive it like you stole it, the can will stay empty, drive it like Ms. Daisy is in the passenger seat and that can will be overflowing before the end of the first block....
