i have an untrained eye. if i'm wrong other will straighten you out.
but whatever type of gear lub you put in. i bet that don't look like it did when it was fresh. chocolate color, swirls, maybe a little white foaming... i think yes, water intrusion.. like i said, i ain't the pro though..

Yup, looks like a minor amount of water, but ANY is not cool...
