What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?
Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.
When the Breaker panel wet inside and no sign of water above box?
In most cases, water is entering through the the rubber compression gasket at the top of the meter where the service wire enters the meter. Have power company turn off power and have electrician replace compression gasket and add Ge silicone around top of compression nut. Also add silicone where the service wire exits the meter at the bottom of meter around wires to stop water entering the sheathing of the service wire. Inspect door gasket and dome lock to stop wind driven rain and snow.

If you change out a 60amp meter with a new 100amp meter would the wiring still be big enought to carry the 100amp?
No, on a service change all the wires have to be able to carry the current of the highest rated device. There are tow cables associated with your question. The one from the pole to the meter and the one from the meter to the main electric panel. The one to the meter is the responsibility of the power company and may well be large enough. Since it is in free air its current carrying capacity is not de-rated in the same way as the cable from the meter to your main panel. Since you will have to likely upgrade your main panel it is a good idea to replace the service entry cable to 100 A rating.
