Sorry for the rather vulgar thread title. Being new to technicalities like water heaters (warm water in the original Rosabella was delivered via a kettle) I've got a couple of daft questions about my Truma water heater.

- Does the dump valve go straight to the outside? There's an extension pipe coming from the little hole in the bottom of the wardrobe (where the heater is situated) but its bent up and over the chassis and I can't see how water is supposed to come out. I've assumed that that is wrong and now the valve emits straight to the outside world - is that OK (actually, as I'm writing this I'm realising that it's a really stupid question!)
- The reason I was investigating it was that with the lever of the dump valve in the horizontal position there was water seeping up from beneath the valve. I've come to the conclusion that when the system was under pressure (ie the water was being pumped) the valve was weeping and the water was unable to escape because of the forementioned bent pipe. Is the valve likely to weep with the lever in the horizontal and the taps on? I've noticed that if I push the lever slightly beyond the horizontal it opens.
