People will need more info to help you. What mask do you use? Do you use a Humidifier ? What setting is it at? The water can be "rainout" due to condensation in the hose and mask. If you use a Full Face mask it might be dripping into your eyes. If its a nasal mask of some type it might be leaking air and blowing into your eyes at night causing them to water and goop up. Those are my best guesses without more info.

CPAP therapy has been linked to an increase in eye irritation or conjunctivitis. I would get this looked at by a doctor.

When I first started I had air coming out of my tear ducts for a few nights, it was very disconcerting, and stopped as far as I'm aware before I went to sleep.

True, the tear ducts and nasal passages connect to a certain degree. Cpap air is probably irritating your eyes, drying them out, and causing your eyes to generate more lubricant.
