Retaining Wall Drainage

Trav001

I have a question about the drainage in the retaining wall we have just built. We placed a drainage pipe along the bottom of our retaining wall and tied one of our downspouts into it. We have two points in the wall for this to drain out from and it can also drain through the pipe itself as that has perforations in it. During a light rain I have noticed that the water from the downspout is draining through the perforations in the pipe and then out through the wall itself. My question is, could this become a problem or should it be draining as such?
