If you are not burning coolant, and you have no coolant in your oil, I'd say it's just condensation,

I have an ecosboost f150, they create a ton of condensation check out the video, their expansion chamber is the cooler, a small weep hole drilled in it gives a place for the condensation to exit. the water in this video is just from ambient air.

Air resonator sludge

Never found a good answer now it is cold in Northern NH lots of snow rain and ice too. Head is not bad not burning oil or loosing coolant. With new plugs idles accelerates super smooth , I had also cleaned out the Resonantor with compressed air. Had this problem a year ago ( 12k miles ) with no real answer.

Any one else having this problen ?

Thanks
