The drainage is completely normal and you will continue to have very small amounts of drainage while having a PEG, pink to lite reddness is normal at the insertion site.
Don't forget to flush before and after each use. Depending on what FR your husbands PEG is, be careful pushing anything other than formula down. Mine is a 12FR and I'm too chicken to push pureed food down it because I don't want it to get clogged.
