Most likely not. Water ingested at the carbs would be sucked in and turned to steam in the combustion process and spit out the tail pipe. Its not uncommon to get moisture build up in the crank case. Usually when the engine warms up to operating temperature this moisture steams off and exits via the crancase breather. Short trips and infrequent trips hinder the ability of this process, thats why I asked about your driving habits. It may be normal for your situation if the oil in the sight glass isn't milky. Or it could be an early sign of what lies ahead.
