The rule book is unclear about being in contact with the rubber, but the Case Book gives a clear indication that the pitcher may not go to his mouth while in contact with his plate.

Once more, I have never called, or seen called a balk for adjusting a cap, or wiping sweat. That seems rather OOO to me. JMO.
