This is the risk you take when water cooling, gonna have to bite the bullet and open it up and check everything, better be safe than sorry.

Maybe but you should let it dry afterwards for a day or two.

For me I would use alcohol to remove any water or left over particulates .  At 5 minute Linus explain it

waters tricky, give it a few days and hope it doesnt corrode anything, or open it up and let it dry and put it back together in a few hours

If your going to let it sit. Open it up and set a box fan in front of it.

Distilled water isn't conductive,but it tends to absorb stuff into it like salts and minerals,and then becomes conductive.
