Common in winter months due to the previously mentioned condensation due to hot/cold temperatures. More prevalent if you drive short distances instead of long trips. How's your water temp? Make sure you're getting it up to proper temp... if you live in a cold state then you can experiment with radiator blocking. It can be as simple as a cereal box covering half of the radiator to keep air from entering. This is at your own risk - you have to watch things very closely to make sure you don't get too hot. Golden rule is boiling temp of water to expelled moisture and condensation from the engine internals.
