Why would my battery randomly die?

I tried to start it just now, wouldn't go. Ended up pushing it up my driveway into the garage, very hard task.

It's been raining and for some reason I have a leak dripping off the under dash wiring on the driver's side,

Seems like the **** in front of the windsheild but behind the hood on the outside is leaking down. It's dripping off some black thing down my main bundle of wires to the fuse box,

I wonder if my battery is toast or what.

my rabbit would leak into the starter relay and fuel pump relay and fill them up - heard that some rabbits used to start up all by themselves. Nasty if you were in gear when you park - no safety interlock on the clutch in those days.

Charge up the battery and see how long it takes - it may be ok and was drained by a short under the dash.

I need to get some jumper cables,

No one has them around here, mehbe I'll take a trip to the neighbor's.

Got some cables, I guess the leak shorted out the battery, now I need to figure out the leak, was told it go be getting in through the cowl, which I guess is the word for what I was trying to describe. Still have the iacv issue!
