830CK Breather condensation (blow by tube) causes?

What is the cause of condensation coming out of the breather tube (blow by tube)? After running to warm up and shutting down there is a very small amount of water droplets that form at the exit of the tube. (just a drop or two).
 
When fuel burns, one of the by products is water. Have you ever noticed water comming out of the tail pipe of a car on a cold day? A little bit of this water will get into the oil of any engine. Usually this water is evaporated out of the oil as steam before it turns into water. A little water from the breather is no reason to worry. Milky colored oil, worry!
 
Agreed . when tractor has set on level a week or more open oil pan drain and check for slightest few drops of water .holler back if that is occuring !.... I assume 830 has been winter time setting... More than likely cooking the moisture out , Probably using abnormally more oil too.. (My 4020 DEERE uses couple qts before settling in the rings . then it acts like a durn normal jd )... HOWEVER , if you suspect problems caused by something gone or DONE wrong and or neglected ...AND ,are hoping for a miracle cure to vindicate you ... WATCH THAT OIL CLOSELY.. when hot and running , if the radiato is spewing out the top: ,blown headgasket OR WORSE ,teardown .and fix immediatly
