Definitely condensation.

By Dave Shoe - 03/19/2004 1:51:28 PM; IP 12.2.11.190

Since it was clear water, it has to be condensation, either from normal crankcase blowby condensing at it hits the cool surfaces, or from the atmosphere condensing like the early morning dew (if stored outside). It's not coolant, since there is no antifreeze visible.

I find this to be a problem in Minnesota, and the engine needs to be warmed up and driven for at leat 10 minutes after getting warm to start removing excess water from the oil. Simply getting the heater to pump hot air is not long enough to start drying the oil.

JMO,
Shoe.
