Yes, the relief valve has a drain hose on it. At least mine does.......
It needs to be taken out to be cleaned, most likely it's got years of crud and deposits from hard water on it. I am not sure how yours is mounted, mine must be de-soldered and re-soldered to go in and out. I am going to score some random pipe and learn how to do this. The pressure regulator is the bulb type looking thing with the screw and the tab on it. This, too might need cleaning and adjusting. This unit has flange fittings on it, so it can be unscrewed. You might check if the drip actually comes out of this clear hose, or if something else is leaking. Mine only leakes when the water pressure is very high, like in some of the county parks we go to.
There is a thread on this with pictures.
Good luck!
