Don't panic lol. I have seen the inside of rocker covers coated thick with it.

Any car engine will have that happen if it is constantly doing short trips, the condensation will not disperse until it is running at a proper operating temp.
If you are doing short trips during the week, take it for a good cruise on the w-ends or buy a ******* for a daily.

If your PCV system isn't functioning it will lead to extra condensation in the crankcase. The PCV system is designed to help rid the cranckcase of this condensation.

The best pass its ever made was 11.66 @ 120 with a broken valve spring on a 1.71 60 not to mention the DA is usually 3-5k feet. After we fixed the valve spring it went 11.70 at almost 122 with a 1.89 60. I know my car seems full of excuses but its true lol. When the track opens back up hopefully I'll crack 10.90s since I've got a Chrs1313 set up and some skinnys and new Hoosiers for the back. The DA and traction is killing it.
man, that exhaust was killing you, but i'm betting that thing pulls like crazy once you get the rpm's up......you should see 10's soon
