I suspect that, with that warranty language, your camera will  
eventually return to you, repaired at no charge.
However, it will probably take some time Leica Camera Ltd. and Solms  
to sort out their settlement of the matter.

Definitely not fun.

I'm curious if this camera was a "demo"
or brand new in sealed OEM packaging?

While I have no doubt that you know what you did or did not spill on it;
I wonder if it was ever exposed to something before you received it.
