she'll be right but water most likely came in from the breather.

And get some diff breathers if you dont already have them, $20 from supercheap will get you the needed bits, and an hour of your time.

A bit of water in there wont hurt, its the impurities in the water, sand and other abrasives will wreck gear quick.. If you think it came in the pinion seal, its possibly failed due to bad bearing preload conditions.. Check the preload before its too late..
