Set up a watch only wallet a few months back and have no idea where to locate the secrete key. I have read that it may be stored in my browser's cache? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think is possible to get that back and that is why it is often necessary to have a backup whenever you have any good information even ordinary notepad could make sense in this case.

Watch-only wallets does not contain any private key. If you did not save private keys, your Bitcoins, if any, are gone.

Edit: It's look like above two were faster.

Just writing some code

A watch only wallet does not contain any private keys. It only has the addresses there so you can monitor those addresses and create transactions, but cannot sign and broadcast said transactions. To get the private keys, you must find the wallet where those addresses came from.
