Either the intake or the water fitting could be leaking, but if it were me, I would clean the engine off to be sure. I just use a self-spray carwash that has an "engine degreaser" setting. I don't squeeze the trigger, just let it trickle out, you don't want to rip anything off with that high pressure. If you have doubts about the water-tightness of your electrical stuff, spray it off somewhere it won't be a PITA to let it sit for a while to dry out before you take it to the carwash.
