I'd probably change my oil at a minimum. I guess it could be condensation,  especially if it's the 1st time out all year. If you have injected headers, it could be from them if there getting wet too soon in the rpm range. I'd keep em dry under 2k.

FWIW, when you drain your oil if you put it in a milk jug after a while water will separate and you can see just how much water you have in there.....
