Default Water gets on top of the intake when I wash car.....

I have noticed this whenever I wash my car. The gasket below the hood seems in good shape so I don't know how the water is creeping into the engine bay. I see water on the intake near the fuel injecters. Is this normal? What can I do to fix this, problems I can have?

Its normal for the engine to get a little wet when its being washed or when its raining. Also the 'gasket' your talking about is just there as a fire guard (if the engine starts on fire it melts and tries to put it out).
