I think its ok. As long as its above the engine, it will burp. You just dont want air trapped in the engine.

No. That is not OK. What you hooked it to is not part of the sealed system, it's the overboard vent line. Above or below the waterline is not as important as keeping it in the sealed system. The hose you hooked it to is supposed to run to the radiator overflow container.
