Since your not loosing coolant, the water has to be condensation and the black soot is most likely a rich burning condition. Pull several plugs and check for the soot deposits on them. If you baby the engine a lot or the carb has problems, the soot can build up. Depending upon the moisture in the air the there can be a lot of condensation.
