Default Help! Front brake lever/Master cylinder noise

I have a 2010 fatboy lo and noticed after a wash and ride my front brake lever is making a squishing noise when pulled. Brakes work fine, no leakage...any ideas???

You may just have some water in the switch boot for the brake light .

I think it will dry out . I put a new boot on my switch to keep the water out . My boot was split .
