Why is my washing machine leaking?

I have just bought a Bosch WAE2416SGB washing machine. When I started it for it's first wash it started leaking water from the front straight away. Further inspection showed water was coming from a small hose at the front of the machine in the service flap next to the detergent solution pump. Why is the water coming straight out of this pipe? Have I made an obvious stupid mistake? Should it be stoppered or should the machine automatically avoid this when it's working?

Any help will be much appreciated
