Remeber that water is a byproduct of combustion.  Note the steam/drips
coming out of the tailpipe.  As the rings are not perfect, some of this gets
into the crankcase (blowby).  It makes its way to the top (cap).  Not a big
deal.  Just make sure that your oil stays on the clear/honey to nice dark
black color scale--never hedging towards any bit of creamyness.
