Default How's my spark plugs look to y'all (plus CAC sludge pics)

So I removed the CAC today to see how much sludge/water was in there and checked the plugs. There was maybe an ounce or two of clear water in the CAC and then the sludge in the pic show. Thoughts?

RX catch can has been ordered!

2012 w/ 73k. Previous owner had TSB performed last year and new plugs 6 months ago. Gap on the old plugs was between .029-.033

I am trying to talk myself into the weep hole, really rather upgrade to the full race CAC and intake (hoping those things would solve the issue). BTW, my CAC part number starts with a "AC"
