This is about a Luscombe: http://www.iaopa.eu/mediaServlet/storage/gamag/aug08/GA_p26-29.pdf Take a look at the picture at the lower right of page 28. It shows a good view of the pitot tube which resembles what you have been talking about. Notice that it is bent down and then forward. This should solve your water concern. Also install wronghand's flapper.
