This was after I ran the car for about 2-3 minutes at the most. The fluid LOOKS clear but I really couldnt tell. Normal??

Drive it and see if you lose any coolant.

I guess it's normal if you run it just for 2-3 minutes.

That's why we must run our cars as long as possible and not just for a couple of kilometers. Otherwise entire exaust will rust in no time.

Condensation is normal when hot H2O in form of vapor touch cold metal...
