Just came from a long drive on the highway so it usually always gets up to temp. Is it possible the cap is going bad in letting moisture in.

The cap would show as an air leak. As engine cools water will condense inside the case. When you say usually always gets up to temp do you mean you get it to 180 deg and drive for 20 min or more or just gets there and then shut down.

If you are not short driving it then you may have other issues.
