I can't see how the receiver would make an esc which is turned off make it continue to provide power to the steering servo....

it snowed the other day here in minnesota and i couldnt resist so i brought out my rustler and now i noticed that my esc light is getting hard to see. i also noticed that my esc will shut off when i push the button but i can still steer but can't use the motor. whats the deal. its supposed to be waterproof
It sounds like it's definitely the esc, maybe they missed a spot when water proofing or the rubber seal wasn't in correctly. Either way, don't open it up if it's still under warranty, just send it in for repair/replacement.
