Subject: water in scope, recommendations ?

Tweeters,
While birding in the rain a few days ago some water leaked into my Nikon
FieldScope. A great scope but unfortunately not waterproof and the helical
focus ring makes covering it difficult (don't think there's even a cover
made for it). Most of the moisture appears to be gone but there is a film on
one of the internal optical elements. I suspect I will have to send it to
Nikon to have it cleaned - I think it would be unwise to attempt this myself.
Does anybody have experience with something like this? Any suggestions would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Charles.
ps I am planning to contact Nikon.
