Well its summer time and I've been trying to troubleshoot why there is no water pooling underneath my car with the AC running. It still blows fairly cold, but a recharge may be the issue.

However before I go do that I wanted to check the AC drain to see if it was plugged. However nowhere are there any diagrams or photos that show this mythical drain or its routing with regards to the AC system components. Is this it pictured here? Keep in mind this is the driver side, not the passenger side where most people say it is located.

Any insight or advice is appreciated! The view is facing the front of the car.

Wow that's probably it, I think these are the first pictures on the forum.

It should be on the passenger side against the firewall, above the tranny (unless I'm wrong lol). Mine is definitely plugged and I couldn't find it.
