Default Milky oil and clean coolant

so i had to fix a intake leak today and noticed there was some mily looking stuff in the valley. So i fix the intake gasket and decide to pull the driver side VC off. Milky and water drop all over. Coolant has not dropped at all and is super clean. I have not changed the oil since the weather broke and this is a new engine as of last oct. Only has 400 miles on it. Never had this issue until i pulled the intake off. Could this be cold starts and condensation?

If it's been sitting all winter, I'd say it's possible if you had it stored outside, or in a non climate controlled place. Then you'd have to have climate that went up and down a bunch.

ya you should be fine, i had the same exact thing going on, mine was also stored in a pole barn during winter, when i pulled my intake off there was some milky stuff in the lifter valley and a little in underneath the valvecovers along with some condensation, MI weather is up and down alot.. you should be fine, especially since the coolant level is the same.
