Pitot Drain hole

[petep]

Does the Dynon L shape unheated pitot tube have a drain hole. If so where do I find the little bugger. Trying to test for pitot leaks but cant maintain pressure at all.

I'd connect the tester at the pitot end of tubing to check the main system first as due to the design of the Dynon pitot there will be a small apparent leak  .  If you have a big leak as you appear to be suggesting then bypassing the pitot head, in the first instance, is the best way IMO 

Yes, it does have a small deliberate hole.

It does have a drain hole. We advise in our installation manual not to try to plug the drain holes on the probe - just bypass the probe during your pitot / static check.
