Mitsubishi Lancer ex 1.6 2016, it's been raining a lot lately, today I opened the engine bay and found out that water gets in through to engine bay, seems like water comes in through one of the wiper nozzles holes, the leak is barely noticeable, after tons of rain there was only an extremely small amount of water (it drips around the engine air filter) but it doesn't directly hit it or affect it، there is no wires or batteries or belts there the water falls down and hits some metal part the transmission if I am not mistaken
Is there anything to worry about? Should I get this fixed or is it no big deal? And if it needs fixing is it simple and cheap or expensive?

No, as long as it's away from anything electronic. You might have a clog in your drains that backs up when it rains really hard. I parked my old BMW facing downhill once, and there was an absolute deluge of water that came out of the sky in just a few minutes. It probably rained an inch in 10 minutes. When I went out to the car, the ceiling was all wet. It had a moon roof in it, and the drain was clogged on the downhill side of the car, leading to water intrusion when it rained like that.
It doesn't look like the drains, it goes directly through the hood through the nozzle hole and drips directly down, it doesn't flow over the drains
I know you said it's no big deal, but what if I use some sort of sealant like silicone around the nozzle area from the inside will that help? Or should I just ignore it and let it be
Maybe they slightly moved since it was manufactured?
I am not sure how these nozzle are put in place, but seems like one of them is loose or moved or the rubber inside is worn out
By touching it or looking at it it doesn't show any signs of being loose or moved, probably a bad rubber seal
And if it needs fixing is it simple and cheap or expensive?
go to your parts store, and ask if there are parts to replace on the nozzles, like gaskets.
I wouldn't expect a little piece of rubber to be expensive.
