You can spin the motor over until an apex seal is visible in the port, then push on it to make sure it moves freely, but this isn\'t going to fix the corner seals or side seals if they are stuck.  Best bet is to tear it down, but if you have to be cheap(like me), once it sounds like you have 6 fairly even pops/pssht\'s put it back in and try it.  I would try turning the motor over with some crap plugs in because it is easier to hear/feel the compression when turning by hand.

If you have a few days,  try pouring a little redex in the inlet ports, leave to soak then turn it over and do the same so that all three sides of the rotors get soaked. This will help loosen any carbon. Then oil it all very well with a thin oil. Check the apex seals move.  This will just help with compression when you go to start it again. As for water, if it is only in the exhaust ports, it might be that your turbo is leaking water into the exhaust ports while the engine is off, as the turbo is water cooled. Does the car sit around unused for long periods?. I cant think of any other way that anything other than coolant could get into the engine. Just make sure you have a good ratio of antifreeze/water, about 50/50 is usually about right. That way if it is coolant, it shouldnt go rusty.
