I found this on the apple support website http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3302. Bottom line looks like answer is no

I had thought AppleCare+ did with a $49 service fee. Guess not! Then again maybe it does with $79 service fee. The above link was for AppleCare.

Apple care plus however looks like it does cover it. I took a screen shot

Covered it when my son dropped his phone in our pool.

I found this on the apple support website iPhone and iPod: Liquid damage is not covered by warranty. Bottom line looks like answer is no

Section 3.2, and my own experience says they do cover liquid damage. OP should call them and ask, they don't charge just to ask. I can assure you though, they do cover liquid damage (maybe not liquid metal as in the end of Terminator 2, but they do cover it, with AppleCare+ and *only* AppleCare+).

Edit: Typed this before I saw you referenced Section 3.2, and that it only does with AppleCare+, leaving this here as I own up to my mistakes.

It's all good no worries.
