Condensation in oil fill cap

I noticed some condensation when I took the oil cap off.
I changed the oil in the oil looks fine coming out. Is this a common thing? I've never noticed it before. It's clear like clean water just a few drops up there. Thanks

If it is water it shouldn't be a problem. It could be worrisome if it is white foam indicating water in oil.

Just condensation, but keep an eye on it.

Don't let it bother you. When the engine goes from hot to cold moisture accumulates in areas.

Yeah I know that I've seen that before, but the last time I changed the oil it came out as always. Just a little darker than when I put it in. I use mobile ones synthetic

Its normal in cold weather... Find someone with a Dodge ram or Dakota that has the 4.7L and look in their oil fil tube/cap.... looks like thick yellow baby poo. I freaked the first time I seen mine do that years ago.
