happens every now and again.moisture gets into the gauge during washing or whatever and when i'ts hot the moisture tries to evaporate but can't get by the glass. eventually it will go away.

Same here. More like a film or something but comes and go's. Being able to see it seems to depend on how the light hits the glass.
