Wetness can be caused by over charging. Check the voltage at the battery with engine around 2000 rpm and all accessories and lights off. If the voltage is above 14.7 or so, replace the voltage regulator. The battery itself can also cause this problem. Actuallly the amperage of the alternator needs to be checked also but this requires equipment most DIYers dont have and most Autozone type places dont understand. If the water was down and that is why you needed to add some wwater, than there is something wrong. Be careful working around a battery that is subjected to over charging as they give off hygrogen(sp) gas that can blow up.
