Is the cold water tank fitted with a lid?
I suspect it is steam from the bathroom, if there is no extractor fan that comes on automatically with the light, unless you are in the habit of hanging wet washing around the house to dry. these are the two big sources of water vapour. It is lighter than air so rises up through the house until either it escapes, or finds something cold to condense on.
Lots more loft ventilation is needed, maybe it has been blocked by insulation.
