Sputtering, acting really wierd

Ok so ill start from day one. I parked at school and after about 6 hours i came back there was like a dry circle that looked like something exploded and when i turned the car on it was pouring out water (not oil of antifreeze or brake fluid) WATER, but it stopped so i was like ok? and the A/c is fine so i didnt think anything of it. Next day CEL came on so i was like oh must be from yesterday but it was the front o2 sensor so it came on and stayed on then it would go offf and come on so i ordered it, after i ordered it it hasnt came on since so i got it but didnt install it yet. Then when im driving im noticing that going into boost (when the car is fully warm) it gets boosts then sputters and then gets back into boost (it almost like cuts out for a second). I am still driving the car with no CEL on not to mention it smells pretty bad. I will be getting it looked at soon, with a compression test but what do you guys think?

I'm not sure about the water pouring out but did you install something recently? I've seen the sputtering symptoms before and it was due to a loose ground wire. Check the simple stuff first I guess.
