That's oil vapor sneaking up and getting deposited in the cap.
The bushing in your distributor is shot. Time to replace the
distributor. http://members.***.net/wilsond/distributor/

Re: Distributor Cap Chirpping...Why? Please help!
I had the same thing happen a few months ago. The bushing is shot. You
will need a new distributor. I too wasted time and money with new caps
and rotors, but the only fix is a new distributor.
