Water in T41 - help...

I got the tiniest amount of water in my laptop. I assumed it was just the keyboard so I kept working away. The comp froze so I turned it of. Cleaned everything off (just wiped) - opened it up - saw the tiniest amt of water by the trackpad cable. I let it dry for a little and turned it on.

-First go: Windows XP load bar was SUPER slow (waited some more)

-Second go: Windows XP tries to load for about 5 min then gets a hardware error (then I waited some more)

-Third go: Windows XP loads very slowly but loads. Couldn't really do anything it was so slow so I turned it off.

-Fourth go: In the morning - It loads and I was able to backup my stuff but it was sometimes perfectly fast, sometimes laggy, and sometimes super slow. Mouse, for example, what shutter/lag (I think the mouse is fine)

I am planning on leaving it alone for awhile. Maybe it will get better but if this continues is there one part that I could replace? What do the symptoms suggest? HD? CPU? MB? I don't think its the ram - they were far from the water and I tried switching them out. I don't think its the fans. Should I "wash" some of the areas by the trackpad cable/cpu?

Thanks!
