I would check all fluids under the hood.
especially the engine oil.

saltwater might have screwed your electronics too

Post Sub-Marine

Here is the name of a product that will remove the salt from from everything. It is available internationally. ( Add "www.") saltawayproducts.com This is especially critical for electrical items. Sounds like an excellent easy-to-use solution...Good Luck!

If I were you I would take it to a freshwater stream or lake and let it soak in that for awhile......
