I had the same issue with a 468 with a blower. Put in an oil thermostat and it went away completely. Then new problems arose and it turned into a 11k rebuild. That's another story. Anyways I had condensation in the same places. Fixed with the oil thermostat for got the name of the one I went with. About 100$ and a few AN fittings and an hour worth of work

True. I was just using the boiling point of water and where it would for sure evaporate any water.
Most likely 160-180* oil temp will get rid of condensation moisture.
