Angry battery drainage!

so yeah, back when i was picking up the accord, it has a small ass leak near the spark plug seals things and is leaking onto the headers, so yeah at the Honda Dealership they where rinsing off the oil off of the header and such, and got the distubitor cap or something wet and stalled my car, so they pushed it and TooSlow was with me and said i looked like a deer in headlights when i saw them pushing it, but anyways, they had to take it over and dry it off, try to start, fail, try to start and it starts then on the way home from the dealerhsip the battery light comes on. so i think its because the got something wet and that it would be ok after it drys, wrong, so the next day i got to start her up and Nothing happens, so i think maybe they got the alternator wet while in the process, so i called out AAA to do whataver, my moms desicion, they said that the alternator was ok, and that the battery was crap. so i go back to the honda dealership and get a new batter, put it in the car and such, she starts right up, but i dont drive around i just start er up to see if the battery is good, then i shut it down, i check to see if maybe i left some light on or anything, NOTHING is on, then the next afternoon when i go to drive, it makes that clicking noise when i try to start it....so now the battery is dead again....wtf could be draining my battery so bad...maybe they got something wet and fucked it up? ... grrrrrr

ouch...i would take it back to honda, check all your grounds, also i would take out the plug boots from the engine and let them dry out for a bit. (not that water in your plug holes would be draining your batt, but the dealer sounds like they didn't do that.)
