Unhappy Lake Daimler strikes again

Well, I thought I had cured that problem...

A few weeks ago, I went and cleaned out the area that I believed the hood drains were located. There was a lot of garbage; dirt, leaves, etc in there, and I got just about all of it out. I was looking in the immediate area of each hood hinge. Is this the right place on a 123? Does anyone by chance have a picture of the specific spots pointed out?

I ask 'cause, after affirming that the area was still clean today, I took a garden hose and sprayed off the entire car. After being finished, I found water in the right-hand rear footwell. Fortunately, I had thought to pull the rear carpeting beforehand. The left side was nice and dry, and I believe both front footwells are dry as well. Fortunately, it was a puddle and not a true lake, but I"m still concerned about what would happen were I to wash the car, or worse, if I get into a rainstorm.

Where else can I look? Was I looking in the right place to begin with? I'm trying to make Lake Daimler a dry lake. Not only would it be nice to be able to wash the car (mainly due to this problem, I've only washed the car once since I got it in July, and the poor thing's dirty), but more importantly, I'm concerned about upcoming rains...

Thanks in advance!
