Pitot total

I've followed this complete tread and have nothing to add really but now I was wondering the following: I've had many discussions about the result of a blocked pitot and all people I've spoken to think the same so I gave up!
But I'll give it one more go!

Although with an open pitot head the effect is minimum but I was thinking that with a blocked pitothead the buildup press inside will slowly "leak" away through the drainhole???

The result off this would be a slowly decreasing speed reading staying at fltlevel and same real ias???

Pls. You proffesional idea about this?
