Default Evidence of water in my oil

Hello,
2000 GT, stock, 86kmi.
I went to change my oil last week and the oil cap had tanish frothy goo covering the fill spout and cap. EGR valve also had the same froth on it. I drained my oil into a clear container and let it sit, no visible separation of oil and water. Cleaned everything up, put in fresh oil, pulled my cap yesterday and I got the same froth again

I have water getting into my oil, not sure where, not sure how to problem solve this issue. Any help would be appreciated
