Check the pipework from under wing to inlet manifold for holes or damage.... the water issue is a worry. Did she go thru a deep puddle???

get a new air filter,and dry it all,and check your car engine oil,if it's mixed with water being sucked in engine when it sucks air from air feed.

Won't be in oil as it would have entered the combustion. Check your filter, change if wet, check your lugs possibly? Do you still have your wheel arch in place? That's where the air box draws it's air in.
