You will find moist/water here. Let it dry. I sprayed it with Pronto (Same brand in English???) which I used many many years ago to remove moist in my old car with carburetor. Solved it permanently by removing the outside handle and sealing it with silicone. Problem solved! Hope this helps you!

Thanks, I'll give it a try
