Condensation alone won't produce the white slik, but running the engine, allowing the condensation to mix with the
oil, will.
By all means, check things out as suggested, but as Rick Parker said,

Another tip...pull the drain plug and see if there's water in the pan...if the engine is cold and has been sitting long enough for any water to separate from the
oil, the water, being heavier than
oil, will settle to the bottom. If all you see is the white slik on the breather, dipstick, etc. and the oil itself is the correct color with no water in the bottom of the pan, there's a good chance it's just condensation.
If the engine checks out OK, you're simply not enjoying you Cobra enough.
Go for a long enough trip (30 minutes or more) to burn off the condensation.
