Short trips generate the most condensation. Hot enough to create it, but not long enough to burn it off. Id change the oil. keep an eye on coolant and oil levels. If there is no fluid volume changes, theres no leak, its just condensation. If coolant or oil levels drop/rise a lot? You've got bigger problems

Yeah, that's where I'm at. It just bugs me since all they do is short trips and I've never seen this before....we take a 2,000 mile ride, it sits for a week and this. I don't know.

Thanks, I'll look in to that next time I dump the oil if I see it again.
Its mixed up in a bigger container now.
