A small amount of water can be condensation, however, if it smells like or contains anti-freeze, you have a major engine problem - possibly a cracked engine block which allows the coolant to seep into the crankcase.
It could also be a blown "head gasket" which is a less serious problem, but still a large job to fix. This too could allow coolant to leak into the crankcase in some cars.

How does PCV system work?
The positive crankcase ventilation or PCV system uses engine vacuum to draw crankcase vapors into the intake where they are directed into the combustion chamber and burned. This keeps pressure from developing in the crankcase which could otherwise cause gaskets and seals to leak. It also reduces sludge build up by drawing out water vapor. Once the engine reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) water in the oil turns to steam and is extracted with the other engine vapors.
