Cheers all - it turns out it was just the CPU fan which the repair guy replaced for a tenner.

He did say it's possible there's residual damage elsewhere but he had a good look and couldn't see the liquid anywhere else (it was blackcurrant squash so all the droplet were purple). He kept the machine running for about half an hour and it seemed ok and said if nothing else seems wrong or I don't get random lock-ups, reboots etc for the next few months then I've probably been lucky in this case.
