Being wet is seldom a problem, but the corrosion that this can cause in the 
long term can be. Don't worry about the missing boot, and DON'T try to tape up 
the joint as that will only hold water in.

I would pull the white connector out and pack some good grease in there and 
just push it back together. The grease will prevent corrosion and exclude water 
somewhat.
