Its dirty because mud get thrown up off the back wheel onto the post, you use it and some mud get past the seal.
Solution - fit a crud catcher / wash it.
Water gets inside your frame when you wash the bike (via the headtube when/if you wash it upside down), this drips out of the hole in the bottom bracket. This will also put muddy water on the bottom of your seat post.
Solution - make sure you dont put water in the frame, clean the seat post now and again, make sure the drain hole in the bottom bracket isnt blocked with mud.
