The condensation can only come from 2 sources - the screw on cap and the bleed valve.
Any overfilling will cause coolant to be forced out of the drain onto the ground next to the rear wheel. If you had a faulty leaking (new) tank, the coolant usually pools at the bottom of the trunk.
There's been a couple of instances on here and Rennlist where new tanks and valves have been faulty out of the box.
A pressure test should indicate where the leak is coming from, but I doubt that its a faulty cylinder head / gasket....
