It could just be condensation, but check the expansion tank level, if it's gone down, it's leaking out somewhere, check all the hoses etc under the seats & in the engine bay if so.

Personally I'd lift the seats & check oil, gearbox oil & steering fluid levels anyway if it's been sat that long, give all the hoses etc a check over anyway, only takes 5 minutes, check there's no swelling or water staining.
Sounds like it's just condensation that you're seeing though.

If it's stood for 6 months, it's probably worth having the oil changed as well - unless it was done just before the lay-up. Also run your aircon to get the lubricant to the seals.
