560sl AC OVERFLOW

AC Draining into floor boards. Anyone know where it exits? Someone told me that it's common the upper part of the hose will rott out. Help!!

Thanks, Keith Davis

The AC evaporator drains out a pair of tubes that exit in the transmission tunnel, one on each side. From under the car you can check that they're open, as they often clog with road debris/mud. If clearing them doesn't cure the water dripping onto your right shoe while driving, the next concern is the drain hose and sometimes the drain pan, which (I think) can be accessed by pulling the console side--but at this point I defer to more expert correspondents. I know it's a common 107 problem, but was surprised just not not to find much on a few quick searches of the board; if someone hits a better set of keywords than I did and can post earlier wisdom, thanks.

Easiest way to fix this is to blow all the six of the car's drain tubes out from below with compressed air.

If that doesn't fix it you need to investigate further as Craig indicates.
