Yes, at least in cold climates, they all do this (all 112 and 113 motors).
It's nice when the user profiles are filled out. I have no idea where tabo lives, but if he his somewhere in the sub-tropics, he wouldn't see this happen. Here in Wisconsin, it doesn't happen when the weather is warm.
It's just condensation. I believe the reason it happens is that the cap and the part the cap attaches to (the filler neck) are plastic and is cooler than the rest of the surrounding motor, which is metal. Never seen an official explaination, I believe this is correct though. Right after an extended drive it will be almost gone. Once the temps are above 30 to 40 F it will be gone also.
