Which cylinder was it pulled from and what is the wet stuff?

Did you check the plug well before pulling the plug?

I would look at the rubber wheel well skirt and see if its come undone. There is really not a way for water to get on that side unless its outdoors water or road water.. Car wash? on the paassenger side you can have the heater hose leaking..
