it doesnt hurt anything. water gets in there all the time when u
-drive in the rain
-wash it
-park it in the rain

water also gets into your engine bay from the wheels wells when u drive it..

the air cleaner intake is well off the bottom of the platform and water
doesnt enter it.

dont sweat it.. its not hurting anything
