Quick call 911 your gunna die... Only kidding, don't panic compressed air is only air compressed there is no lesser or greater risk than normal. chances are you cleaned the cut out with it. Treat it as normal.

The watery fluid is just cold water condensate. It won't do you no harm unless it was contaminated and got into the wound.
Rub some antiseptic into it and put a clean dressing on it.
Keep an eye on the wound. If it shows any signs of inflamation or swelling get to the docs as soon as poss.
I doubt if its serious but better safe than sorry.
Don't worry. You're not gonna die. ;-)
