water in #1 plug ON MAZDA 626 1991

Can anyone please help, i am getting water in with my #1 spark plug, on a regular basis, i have to clean ht lead and dry out around the plug as it goes upto the top of the plug, i have to do this at least twice a week., i also have to top up my overflow tank from radiator, as all my anti freeze has now gone, this started when i put antifeeze in or just a coincidence. Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

Ouch! Sorry to hear that petec@73.
You either have a bad head gasket, a warped head or a warped block, in that order.
Only one thing to do: Take it apart and have the head checked out. If that's OK and the block takes a straight edge well too, then replace the head gasket and put it all back together. Otherwise machining the head and/or block is in order.
Has the car been overheated at any time you know of?
