A/C condensation

I have an 89 560 SL, My problem is when I am running the A/C, the condensation pools up and spills all over my floorboard when I make sharp turns. Shouldnt there be a drain line for this to drip harmlessly under the car? my wet feet appreciate any help here

Get under the car, around the transmission. Find the two hoses, Stick something like a clothes hanger up to clean em out. Watch out for the dirty old water.

It's a well-known problem in the 107. There are two drain tubes, one on either side, that exit near the forward end of the transmission tunnel; the usual remedy is compressed air. If you're going to try a wire from below, be *very* careful--it's not hard to convert a clogged drain into a punctured evaporator!
Occasionally, the problem is not just a clogged drain but a cracked condensate pan; replacement involves taking out the console.
A search will find you multiple threads on this.
