Default AC Drain?

Hey guys I've tried to search this topic before I ask but where does the AC coil drain to on the firewall? Is it behind the fabric shield behind the motor? and if so is it supposed to leak down then firewall or something because mine looks like its not draining in the right area.

It exits in front of the passenger foot well...You an lift up the carpet all the way at the top and see where it exits. From underneath you can see where the hose pokes out of the firewall about 4 inches or so.

I had wet carpet and found it while I was trying to figure out why...turned out the drain was plugged. I didn't have the time to take the whole thing apart so I brought it to the dealer to straighten out...Now it drains and they deodorized the system so it smells nice too.

My '08 cargo seems to have the same problem and I'm pretty ticked about this....I just happened to pull the vinyl/foam cargo flooring mat up to run amplifier wiring when I felt moisture and saw that the metal HVAC/center console brackets are completely rusted!

I just saw this and will be checking the drain tube in a bit...
