He probably got something in his eye, making it "water".  Gerbil "tears" are red.  If 
the eye itself looks OK and it's just that the fur is stained, I wouldn't worry about 
it.  I see this sometimes with my PEWs and REWs, I think it just shows up so much on 
white fur that we notice it more than on other colors. :)
