Window in Bathroom Causing Issues

[Ned]

Hey all. I have a window directly above my toilet. It's a normal window with blinds and it's fairly highly set behind the toilet. The issue is when it rains or the temp outside is colder then inside the condensation is substantial. It pools then drips down the back of the toilet. I'm worried it's going to cause issues. The wife insist it's getting into the walls as well. Do I have anything to worry about? It's a toilet it's supposed to get wet right?

The toilet is designed to get wet, but I would think that eventually it would damage the floor. I know it would be a lot of work, but could you replace it with an insulated window? Double pane or something?

Is it causing and warping where the water pools?

Toilet will be fine, it's the wall & floor you need to worry about getting damaged.

The floor and wall is the main issue there... not the toilet, toilets are waterproof... LOL

Repair the window. You will soon find mold growing due to the moisture issues, and probably rotting of the flooring.
