Maybe it's just the sound of oil ?!?! Is your fork perform well, is your adjustments work ? Maybe you just don't hear this sound while you ride.

I would change the oil fork to see if the ''problem's'' continue.

Did you turn the bike upside down when you washed it? It could be the sound of oil returning to its normal position once you turn the bike the right side up.

It is highly unlikely that water got into the forks. They are air-tight.

As bikerx14 says, oil passing the damping circuit can make a squelching noise. If you twiddle the knobs and reduce the damping, then the squelching noise may disappear since the oil is flowing easier. If that is the case, reset your damping levels and go ride - it is just a noise.
