Engine water vapor?

[rojoc]

While checking engine last time out on the water I noticed what looked like water vapor coming from the two hoses that come off the valve covers and go to the carburetor inlet flame arrestor. This was after warmup. Could also see some water dripping from the hose ends. Is this normal? I realize water vapor could be a product of combustion but I have never noticed this before. Thanks in advance.

rojoc, Those hoses usually contain blowby gasses, which is usually air/gas mix that gets passed the rings. You should verify it as water, before worrying anymore. Try to condense it onto a rag. Gas soaks in, water beads up.
