Default Should i have water coming out by oil filter?

My car is overheating and it the water comes out of a pipe that goes into the oil filter and i think its split a bit which i think is causing the overheat...

No mate its the modine which is a water filled housing[part of the coolant system] that the oil runs through the centre of to aid cooling.
Just replace the pipe and bleed coolant system with new coolant and all should be well as long as you haven't done the HG's in the process of over heating.
