Ok....so I can see what looks like it should be the AC condensation drain (left front of transmission)...but no water comes out of it.....I'm not sure where it's coming from but it gathers on the rear of three undertrays and then when I turn a sharp left it dumps the lots onto my exhaust which runs down the right side of the car. The other day I turned left into a parking space at which point what must have been half a pint of water was thrown onto my hot exhaust creating a massive, and slightly embarrassing cloud of stream....as I got out of the car through the cloud I almost said "tonight Matthew I'm going to be....."!:D
So I assume the drain pipe has become disconnected from where it should be....anyone know where it leaves the interior and it's correct routing please. TIA.
 
Ok....google helped....apparently the condensation accumulates in a tray above the tranny and vents from a tube either side....if those tubes are blocked the tray fills until it over flows onto the exhaust. Seems unlikely that both drains are blocked....but I can see another possible reason. Another job for next Friday.
