Water in tailpipe

I have a 1995 F150 5.8l that always appears to have water in the tailpipe. I put pressure tester on coolant system and it maintained 15lbs for at least 10 minutes. This truck always seems to have tons of condensation in the exhaust. I have a 1994 f150 5.0l that does not do this. Any ideas?

Check your PCV system. The valve may be stuck or a tube could be clogged.
Does the exhaust water smell like antifreeze?
Is there evidence of water in the oil?

How long does it run during normal driving? Perhaps it's not getting up to proper temp to burn off the water.

No water in oil and no smell or antifreeze in the tailpipe water. I will check the pcv system.
