2006 Mini Cooper won't start after Car wash...But I think I found the problem

Hi, I want to share with you guys....Just in case you run into the same problem
It happened every time I went to wash my mini. It wont start after a few hours...
and finally my mini did not want to start at all.
I said F*** now what?
Went to the web and searched...
3 suspects in the scope
1:- Ignition Switch
2:- Immobiliser
3:- Starter
Took off the Ignition switch and did not see anything wrong with it.
Went to check the Starter I said F*** where is it??? That damn starter is under the manifold and in order to take it out you have to take the manifold apart I said sh**....
But I din't do it until I checked my immobiliser.
I found a freakin hole under my hood and water went in to my immobiliser.




I ordered the part from the Local dealer $215.80 for the Immobiliser.

Fix that leak!

Is it coming in under the windshield? Or somewhere else?

Please post pics when you find and fix it for future visitors to the site!
