all 4 corners have drains in them.
approx 10mm holes with tubes that exit in the lower sections of the car.
I use that ribbed weed whacker line and chase the tubes to verify they're cleaned out.
some use a tiny drain auger....
the problem usually comes in when rust has eaten out around the drain... pray it's not that.
ask how I know...

Yes, but that would require the OP actually using the search function......
I'll find it {like he could have} and post the link.
