just changed my power distribution block as it had rusted on the battery lead. thought I would clean the drain holes, the drivers side is fine, goes into a tube, the passenger one though is just a dead end, its not blocked, its just an inverted plastic top hat with no drain, is this normal?

If you are referring to the area around the battery, there should be 4 drain holes, all with the same grommet in them and a slit at the bottom to stop rodent intrusion, they just drain out but not into to tube.
The early cars upto year 2000 i believe had a tube type drain with the latter going onto 997 had just a grommet .
The point of both is to drain away water from that area .. there never was a blank on one side that i'm aware of .. and i've seen a few
If OCD is not an issue then just remove the blank that's been fitted .
If OCD is an issue then to replace the tube type drain its a fuel tank drop .
The later grommet type and these are often missing .. they just block up with dirt so people tend to push them through .
water drains out on to the top of the fuel tank .. 991 don't have this anymore .. just gaps that allow the water to drain out onto the fuel tank .
