I would reccomend posting this question in the laser engraving section of sawmillcreek.org, they have a much larger laser user base than this site.
All I can think of is somehow your water chiller lines and air assist lines got mixed up somehow.

Sounds like one of these Igoldencnc co2 laser cutting machine I keep seeing advertised on here!
Check Facebook or elsewhere... Facebook has tons of info on Chinese printers.
I just bought an omtech! I went into it knowing it'll need lots of setup and work. It's a step above true chinese lasers, but way, way lower than trotec.
It arrived with one of the limiters broken, so the machine kept grinding... Had to tape it on. So far I've cut 10mm acyrlic on it nicely though. Definately a lot more user learning than a trotec is .. which is good and bad. Good because before I she'll out 50k on a machine, I'd like to learn how they work, and this is the best way to learn how they work... You need to fix everything in the Chinese ones
If you bought a Chinese one, who h it sounds like... You need to learn to do a lot more reach on your own though.

Do you have a dryer on your compressor?

Ya, I would say you somehow have your water chiller lines hooked into to your air system or you have a massive amount of condensation in your compressor.
We have an OmTech and the only problem we had was a screw came loose on one of the x axis drive pulleys that slowly started to slip, since tightening no problems since...
Its a great machine but after delivery I would advise going over every bolt and screw in the machine and tighten/check each one.
The assembly instructions that came with ours was at best not good and usually didnt even show the same model/version of cutter in examples. Google some setup videos of your specific laser from other sources and double check all your setup again...the manual might be wrong or tiny pics hard to make out, I found mistakes in ours. Get a youtube consensus and check it again.
