Are there two drain hoses or only one?

Are you sure there are two of them? I easily found the one on the driver's side, adjacent to the transmission pan. While I had the car up, I looked for an output on the passenger side. I have not seen water dripping from the passenger side and could not find the outlet. If there were one in a mirror image position, it would drip almost directly onto the catalytic converter. I was doing this to avoid the disassembly if there was not a hose present. Could it have been eliminated on the 1991 420SEL and there is only one?
