Accumulation of moisture in a propane engine is usually due to poor ventilation or the engine is not obtaining the normal operating temperate. By not obtaining the normal operating temperate condensation will form & accumulate.
► Check that the PCV Valve is operating correctly.
►Make sure the hose from the air intake system is not obstructed & the filter is clean.
► Inspect the thermostat

Moisture in engine oil isnt normal. Check your coolant level in your radiator. If it is low it may be entering your engine through a bad sealing gasket or a crack in the cylinder head or block. I have seen moisture accumulate in engines that are only run for short periods and dont develop enough heat to evaporate the moisture that can accumulate over long periods of use. In this case frequent oil changes may be necessary to eliminate the problem.

No. Cracked block, head, headgasket needs replacing. Potential serious problem.
