Default Condensation buildup

Ok I was wondering if this is anything to worry about or if its normal. My z28 has been mostly parked this winter season maybe 200miles since november. Well, i opened my oil cap and found condensation buildup on the cap and was like a milky color but checked my oil and looks fine. Do i need to worry about this or just do an oil change and drive her more?

Thanks for all feedback

From what I've read that is normal on these cars. Check the radiator fluid if you are worried, if it's not milky/cloudy, don't worry. I'm guessing it's just a side effect of the fresh air PCV hose being routed over to that side (which the oil filler happens to be on).
