Sounds like condensation, normal during cooler weather. As long as the oil drained out didn't look like chocolate milk then all should be fine.

Bingo!^^.-- If you drain your oil & it looks like the aforementioned "chocolate milk", then you`ve got a problem with coolant in your oil.

I changed oil for a few years, and its not out of the ordinary to have some condensation inside the cap, especially if the car has sat for a while. But Like sated above, if the oil comes out milky or you pull the distick and there's a milkshake at the end you're looking at trouble.

What did the oil that came out of the pan look like?
