Moisture of some kind. Question is... from where. Worst case... you have a internal leak (cracked block, head gasket leak...). Best case it's condensation from cold/warm cycles. Do you drive the car frequently? When you do drive it does it fully warm up (drives over 20 minutes or so) or are they short drives?

That happens if your crankcase is not getting rid of moisture properly. Is your PCV valve stuck closed?
