It's condensation and all cars will do it in the winter time if you're mostly making short trips. The engine isn't running long enough to burn it off. First trip out on the highway for an hour or so will burn it right off.

I live in Canada and constantly do short trips. None of my 4 Ford's do this. Seems like ****** venting to me.

Amen,
Noticed this on my 1st Gen 6.2L Raptor about a month ago...
Plenty of info on this with ford techs discussing this issue.

Sure they did. Might not have shown on the oil cap but you can bet there was some under the valve covers. Depends on the baffle design below the cap

nope. they sure dont. considering the cap is right on the valve cover, if there was any condensation i'd see it.
