Default Water in #4 Cylinder and spark plug question (H22 4th Gen)

I went to change the oil and spark plugs and the oil change went fine, but when I went to change the spark plug, I pulled the wire out of the #4 cylinder (far right of engine I think is #4) and water gushed out. Not a tremendous amount like it was flooded but a decent amount to annoy me. I pulled the others and it was only in that one so...............what does that mean and what do I need to do to fix it?

Also, as far as the spark plugs are concerned. What do you guys use to pull them out because every spark plug socket though it fits over the spark plugs, DO NOT fit in the stupid hole. Do you guys remove the valve cover to get to it? TIA.

after you loosen your plug just use the spark plug wire to pull them out

No, the problem is even though the socket fits the spark plug perfectly (testing on uninstalled new plugs) the socket does not fit in the hole.

maybe u got the wrong spark plug and socket to go with it? theres two standard sizes of spark plug sockets, the one u need is the 5/8" i believe.

I'll check but I'm sure that's the socket I got. But the plugs are the correct ones, the guy looked up the part number to match.

*edit* what about the water in the spark plug hole?
