Question Rainy or damp No Start

I had a top radiator hose go bad sprayed the engine several times with antifreeze, I've cleaned all the connections I can find ( Or at lease I think So) However when it rains or is real damp in the mornings my 86 420SEL will not start. After sitting through the warm day it will start first turn of the key.

I am at a loss where to look next any help :
