I've never had any problems with water in there and it is quite a crucial drain point.
That said, it wouldn't hurt to get it open and get some water dispersing solution on it and check the contacts for corrosion.

PCB cleaner also works really well for anything electrical that looks like it got dredged up from the titanic...

there was quite a bit of water trapped in that area which draioned when I removed the old leaves and crap...........crap seems to have collected under neath stuff and moved due to all the rain we had.......the water level was quite high and may have got into the bulkhead connection block...........so will remove the wipers and get to the block and check for water ingress and corrosion etc.........in stitch in time etc......will also check wiper motor..............that's next weeks bag of sweets...todays are the rear brakes again...........
a pcb cleaner?? will clean mas airflow sensor with out buggering it??

pcb cleaner... it comes in a spray can from maplin or the like... its fairly cheap.
Contact cleaner would do fine as well...
Spray the area liberally then brush it clean with an old (or new and cheap) toothbrush.
Regarding the mass air flow.... it would prolly be fine but i don't want to commit as I don't know how it works....
