Default Engine oil sweat on motor???

Just got an oil change and filters at a Dealer here in Sweden.
Mechanic said cars runs perfect- and he noticed oil sweat on the motor.
Thought I should know but was not important as far as he thought!
Said that was normal for a car of its age. No leaks and runs like a top.
I have never had anyone say this before. Any thoughts on this?

Might be the lower valve cover seals that are toast.
Quite easy to change if that is the case
Heck you could even come over here and i could do it for you (will work for beer)

If he noticed moisture on different components during an oil change, oil filler cap, dipstick,ect. It might be a sign of not getting the oil up to temperature. Short drives. I don't know where else you can see sweat on the engine.
