Ribble Bottom Bracket Drainage????

Changed my tired bottom bracket on my Ribble Sportive this weekend and noticed there was a little bit of water in the casing.

This led me to think back when, some time ago, I put some copter tape over a drilled hole on the underside of the frame bottom bracket casing, thinking something had come off.

Should this be covered over to prevent water getting in (as I thought), or should it be left open to let water get out?

Stupid question I know but I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Many thanks, in anticipation.

    much more water will get in through other places, especially the seat tube if you don't have mudguards, leave the hole open
