Does the terminator have to take shits?

The film treatment for the original two films revealed that the T-800 infiltration models contain digestive systems to maintain the health of their flesh coating, meaning that the T-800 has to eat and drink to survive. This poses a question: does the terminator have to take shits also, and why do we never see this in the film?

Maybe since he's a robot they gave him something to burn whatever's left as extra energy or just exhaust.

To be honest, I think they simply absorb it. They don’t have an intestinal tract or an anus, so it’s probably synthetic.
