That's normal. Stop worrying about it.

When you shut the engine down, the heated exhaust parts cool and suck in
outside air that condenses and forms a small amount of water. When you start
the engine the next day, the water drips out.

That condensation is on the inside of an engine too. Much more
obvious on an old VW bug, when we can rule out a blown head gasket.
That's where the acid is generated that must be drained, no matter what
we think our supper oil or filter may do.

Well you wrote as if the condensation started outside the engine.
The water is in the air that is sucked into the engine, and cold engine
will not totally vaporize it, making it possible for us to see dripping
from our exhaust pipe. It is of course blowing past your rings
contaminating the oil until the Positive Crankcase Ventilation sucks
into the intake again this time hot enough to send it out the exhaust
unseen.
