has anyone else had this problem?

my 325 kept cutting out, so I got it checked on the computer and the garage couldn't get a signal from it so they took the cover off the ecu and it was full of water.

the carpet is dry on the drivers side and I haven't seen any water dripping down under the dash.

Do you park the car outside at a perculiar angle? E.g. On a kerb one side, or on a steep hill?

I have water coming from the ECU area and dripping on my feet... I have now spotted that my windscreen leaks at the bottom corners. Going to seal it up ans see if it improves.
