Get a thing called Damp Start. It is a spray can the same size as the small WD40 can. You spray it on a cold dry engine around all the electrical points and when it dries it set to a waterproof membrane. So it stops the water, however if you undo a plug that has it on, you will need to spray it on afterwards. They also do a thing called damp start which is the same as WD40 (water dispersant 40 grade) but is not a lubricant so doesn't leave a scummy residue.
