Uh Oh...Water in spark plug holes?

Wtf.....today as i'm changing my spark plugs i took off the lead plug and water came out of the spark plug hole....i mean i can figure that thats bad and all but what is my problem here. When i turned my car back on the idle was SUPER rough like i could hear the stuff under my hood clanking around but other than that she was driving just fine, you know aside from the running rich thing (which was why i was changing my plugs in the first place).........so i changed the lead and the trailing plug on the rotor closest to the back of the car and saw the water so i didnt even bother changing the front rotor's plugs until i fix whatever the hell is wrong with this one.

Anyway if anyone can tell me what is wrong with that and what i need to fix it, i would be vvery greatful. TY

Well, sounds like your water jacket might have eroded/burned through your spark plug cavity. A rebuild would be the only fix for this..... There might be another explanation, but I don't know it.
