Default Condensation in spare tire area

I recently purchased a 2008 xD (~60k) miles. When I purchased it I carefully inspected the spare time wheel well and it was dry. Just about a week later, after a few rains I noticed a small puddle of water in the bottom of the spare tire well and some condensation on the metal surrounding it. Should I be worried? Should I leave the drain plug out all the time?

Thanks - Dan

I'm not sure what's causing it, but you sure in the hell don't want it to be wet in there. That will rot your tire and make it useless.
