should this plug be here?

Hey guys, first post here, just picked up a used '15 RC last weekend and have been looking over it in the garage since I can't be out on it right now. When I went to fill up with gas the other day I noticed a bunch of water in the recess around the gas tank opening (under the gas cap) and the drain didn't seem to be actually draining anything away.

Anyways I went looking for what the drain looks like and where it goes, didn't really succeed in finding it, but I did find a drain from the air filter housing, see part part 7 on this diagram, What concerns me is the existence of the plug in the end of the drain, surely that needs to be removed for the drain to function?

Could any of you check and see if yours is there? It's right above the left footpeg inside the trellis frame. Maybe the dealer forgot to remove it during the PDI...

BTW the drain that I was trying to locate is #17 and #45 on this diagram, any clues as to where it is would be super appreciated. I'm getting water pooling up on th erecess of the top of part #1.
