Your water leak in my view is a result of gasket failure. Water in the plug holes should not get into the engine because of the compression washers on the plugs. The water in the plug holes can have come from a number of sources. You may wish to check the top hose. Water outlet gasket and tightness. The water may even have been the result of careless rad filling.
When you have dried everything out I would reassemble with a copper type head gasket but first smear a little GP grease on both sides. Tighten the head in the correct sequence until all are hand tight. You will need to go around them a few time to get them all tight.
