The HE is not self draining unless your exhaust manifolds are raw water cooled and you drain them by removing the plug on the elbow where the hose from the HE connects. In this case being that the HE is higher it will drain down.

On mine the outlet that feeds the exhaust is located near the top of the exchanger. I don’t think much water would drain from the exchanger unless the supply hose from the pump (located at the bottom) has also been removed. I typically pull it off at the PS cooler.
