If you had is out in the rain or have recently washed the car, water can get in through the spark plug seals in the upper valve cover and then run into the cavities in the lower valve cover area... The rubber rings on the spark plug connectors get hard and don't seal very well.

Like others have said- get it up to N.O.T. for 10-15 minutes after exposure should dry it out...
