I would not be concerned with a little water from the tailpipe- - - -burning any hydrocarbon fuel produces water vapor as a normal byproduct and some of it is going to condense in the exhaust system on engine shutdown. Unless you're getting bluish-colored blowby gases puffing from the road draft tube along with the oil drip, just keep an eye on the dipstick and add a little oil occasionally. Your truck is just "marking its territory"!
When a Harley-Davidson or a Detroit Diesel quits leaking, add more oil quick- - - -it's empty! Jerry
