Default Catch tank filling with water?

Hi, i've noticed that my oil catch tank has been filling with water and quite quickly too. i'm currently venting it to ground as i dont want it to drain back if it overfills. is this the norm.

Head gasket is fine no water loss from system.
Quite the opposite, i do 2 hour journeys (some times spirited) once a week atleast and about half hour commute every day. its got to be condensation but it does seem alot.
