Being wet is a normal. It's by-product of the combustion engine. In other words, it's blow-by. Should be wet, a little moisture, a little oil which varies with climate.A certain amount is completely normal. Routs from both cam covers via breather/PCV.

No, it doesn't mean that, it can. Specially when if the rings spent. There's a more than few things that determine, high idle times, short trips, climate. A wrong or worn PCV valve will cause a bunch of it, to the point you'll be filling the crankcase back up at each stop at the pump.

A plugged or bad PCV valve will also cause poor mpg's too.

You lying sack of crap. I will no longer be attempting to help you. If you can't come clean and own up to the several usernames you've polluted this forum with, and running us all around in circles trying to help you.... then to hell with you. Skylar, Jacob, 10thgenfnatic, you are a douche bag. At first, I wasn't 100% certain about this, but you're not very good at covering your tracks. Sooner or later, lies come full circle and you forget who you've told what.

Then there's this you've talked about in this thread:

Coincidence?
