Water drops on underside of oil cap.

When I took my oil cap off today there was water drops on the underside. There wasn't any milkshake on it or the dip stick, and the coolant looks like normal dexcool. Where did this come from? My only mods are a Holley power shot, which should have no effect. And I did the installuniversity.com pcv mod where you stand it up and put two filters in the line. Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok thanks. I just get paranoid over the littlest things. I guess it's since this is the newest and most expensive car I've ever owned.

Hey jm8881 I have the same water drops under my oil cap also. I thought at first it may be a busted head gasket but after I got my engine rebuilt I still have those water drops under the cap. And it turns out there was no busted head gasket.

So as far as I can tell its normal.

I asked my dad the same thing 2 weeks ago when I did my last oil change..................he's a mechanic, and he also said it was normal to see that (in the cold weather more so I think? ).
