1st thing to do here you need to find out how the water got in there-fill the radiator up to the opening and crank engine over is it gushing water out, also remove all the sparkplugs and crank engine over again is water coming out.

Your possibilities here could be a headgasket, cracked head or block and intake leak-If you wish you can have it block and pressure test it
