If water is pouring past the pistions then you have a BIG problem. If the engine was running fine before then I doubt you have such an issue unless the engine has stood for years.
There's realy only 2 routs for water to enter the sump.
1) From the head gasket between a water and oilway.
2) From a failure of a cast ( head or block damage )
Have you taken the cam cover off yet? it's possible water is entering this area and going down the filling hole.
