We don't, but it's obviously unlikely to be worse than drawing random turbulent air from under a plastic cover in the wheelwell.
THEN: some have tried this in past and the strict no leaks from hole to cleaner screwed up the engine some.
I'm not following this; are leaks good or bad? We'd certainly need a water drain hole. Screwed up how?
