I kind of guessed that's what you were trying to describe hence why I said 'try lubing the area around the lever pivot'. If said are is not sufficiently lubricated , what you described can happen especially after riding in the rain.

Regarding the plug I'd say yes, get it out, clean and put back. Make sure you seat the boot correctly. Fender extender and/or di-electric grease to prevent it happening again.

Cheers
