It's a fairly common thing. The o-ring on the drain valve doesn't like the cold and might quit when it warms up. You can rotate the valve to see if that clears it up too. Next time you change that o-ring, lube it good with Vaseline or petro-jelly to keep it from hardening up.

The metal-looking HID ballast is sitting on it. Best to remove the air box for access.
