Like he said yes and yes.
Some aircraft have a vent hole on the LE. The tube makes a turn to
get rid of the rain etc then dumps into the LE and departs eventually
where the wing de-ice hot air goes. Others get the air from the
pnumatic system of the aircraft so it is already bug and water free
and cools on the ground. Kind of hard to do that on a recip though.
