I guess this is what I get and a good lesson, don't be lazy, always take just a minute to protext your electrical components whenever water is nearing your engine. I can't really imagine a worse outcome, now i need a new alternator and battery, lol. lesson learned!
thanks for the replies everyone. I will update as/when it's fixed too

Are you confident as to was it smoke or water vapour? It can be not easy to tell the difference, especially if one's priority has become to switch off quickly.
