After looking at some photos of the wiring looms, it doesn't look implausible to me for liquid to travel through it. Also, I spoke with my regular guy (who specializes in VW and Audi) about what was going on because I wanted to keep him in the loop and he said he's definitely heard of this issue, though it's uncommon, with VW/Audi, called coolant migration. I did a bit of research and quickly came up with this thread on a VW/Audi forum on coolant migrating through the wiring harness:
