Worcester Combi 30Si drain syphon trap

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to this?
The syphon is leaking the smallest ever leak on our Worcester boiler. It is only the rubber seal on the cap at the bottom that needs cleaning but to do this I'll need to remove it, which will obviously drain the syphon. This is no problem but I want to know if I need to fill the syphon with water after or if the boiler will do this for me?
The boiler manual makes no mention of this in the maintenance of the syphon (that talks about removing the cap), but initial installation of the syphon does need water being added to it. I know some boilers have a syphon fill program, but my 30Si manual does not mention if the boiler has one.
It would save a bowl bring left under the boiler!
