I don;t know but if that was me I would be concerned. Are you losing any fluids from anywhere else or even coolant?

the only thing I get in my can is oil vapors which eventually accumulate into actual drops of oil, but my can is vented and usually has steam coming from it. it's probably normal for a non-vented can.. can't imagine where the actual water is coming from though. maybe someone else will chime in
