    Yep - my guess too, as Roger said, is one of those gaskets. Pull the plugs, keeping them in order and if you have a head gasket leak one or two MIGHT be super clean which is often a head gasket. Intake gasket leaks will USUALLY dump water into the lifter galley. SOMETIMES you can see bubbles or goo in the radiator. Then of course - that cracked block..........

    I agree with all the above, from the scenario you outline it would take a whole lot of condensation to do what you are seeing. I've had engines that did what you have and it was always something letting water into the crankcase, like a blown head gasket or cracked block.

    I would drain the oil, put new oil and filter in, and see if it comes back. If it does, you have something wrong going on.
