Brief Answer:
yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Precum would be secreted from the glands around the male genital system and there need not be a sexual arousal to have this precum. This is like lubrication and cleansing of urinary tract. so at times you can find it at the tip of penis.

So please do not worry and wish you good health.
