How do you acess the AC drain on an 86+ W126?

Mines leaking, I see Phil has a few hoses listed for it. How do you get at it? If I had to guess I'd say the kick panal on the pass side? Any ideas, I'd like to fix it soon before it causes problems.

I remember seeing in underneath at some point, maybe when I am changing engine mounts I'll find it again.

On my 83 300SD they are located behind the side panels(?) on both sides. They drain out into the tranny tunnel just about at the vacum modulator (or B2 valve?) on the tranny. If you have ever messed with the expansion valve on the drivers side it is right there. That one is foam the passenger side is rubber, I replaced my driver's side with clear tubing, I don't know why they used foam and a spring.

The one thats leaking is on the pass side. Well at least thats where the water was coming out.

The side panals on the console? Thats not to big of a deal, I have visions of yanking the dash!

Naw, no dash. It's pretty easy, did it last week. The passenger side hose on my car was detached and different (flexible and thin-walled) than the driver's side (a rotten foam wrapped wire that I replaced with 7 inches of 5/8 tubing)

Condensate was flooding my carpets, no problems since I reattached the passenger side hose and replaced the one on the driver's side.
