Remove the metal tube that goes from the front of the engine to the air filter housing and clean it with compressed air. This tube allows a little airflow thru the engine via dipstick and should help with moisture removal.
More then likely condensation. If you do run this in the cold; make sure to let it reach full operating temperature. That will help some and evaporate some of the moisture. And avoid getting cold snow on the motor. I have a little Farmalll super c that I still use today to plow snow and I have to change my oil more often due to this. Cold snow hitting the motor when it's hot. Cold snow hits hot motor (what do people who wear eye glasses; there glasses do when they come into a warm house from cold outside) you get what I'm saying. That moisture has no where to go; so it collects in the oil. Back on the farm back in the 90's I had an old Farmall H that I used to spread the cow manure with. To get it out in the fields going though snow drifts; by spring time I would get at least a gallon of water before the oil came out on both engine crank case and in the rear differential. Just have to change it more often if your gonna play in the snow with it. Summer time should be fine.
Thanks for the shout-out! I don't think I would be too worried about it, as long as you get the engine hot enough.👍
