Spark plug leak

Hi. I was cleaning the engine of my 200 deluxe and notice something strange. While cleaning the engine a little water got into the spark plug wells and when I started the car I noticed small bubbles come up from around a couple of the plugs. Checked and they are tight. Is this a problem or not?

I'd wonder if the copper gaskets were on the plugs or crushed so much they couldn't seal. If those were good is the top hole area on the head pitted or had some kind of debris laying on the surface so the gasket wouldn't seal.

Quite likely that there isn't a leak; if the engine is up to normal operating temperature the spark plug shell is hot enough to boil water.
