Water on Drivers Floor

I am getting water on the drivers floor area. It's enough that I can now have that horrible mildew smell. The problem does not seem to be connected to rain and my suspicion is a clogged AC drain tube. Does any have pictures of where the drain tubes are located? This is on a 2006 S.

The car is still under warranty but closest dealer is 100 miles away so, if it's a easy fix, I would prefer not to burn $4 gallon gas.

Also, any suggestions about getting rid of the mildew smell?

Any help would be appreciated.

No, I don't have a sunroof. Probably should have noted that in the original post.

+1 Especially if it is getting wet when it is not raining. Sometimes the drain gets plugged from below and just needs to be cleared with a piece of wire.
