Condensate runs back out the same pipe.
Note the way the radiator is fitted sloping towards the steam pipe.
There's also an air vent at the other end to allow the air out of
the radiator when the system is first turned on. These can fail,
and they can be noisy.

No possibility of a vent heading out of the wall behind it ? (it is,
after all, only steam)

How about the cooled gases condensing in the rad and running back down
the supply pipe ?
