A/C Drain tube?

Can someone tell me where exactly the drain tube is located?

Mine is clogged, 90+ and no water dripping from the car, dealer can't look at it till Friday, by then I will be dead.

Thanks,
Steve

Passenger side, just above the foot well when looking from underneath, you'll see a bit of tube hanging down. Careful if you unclog it. Could be ugly. Use a 1/4" dowel rod or something similiar and keep out of the line of fire!

Thanks Les,

Your reply came about 2 hours too late. I found it and unclogged it without incident. Now I have A/C again. I won't melt to the seat and die.

I need to find the drain tube and unclog it because of sour smell for about two second every time I start my 2008 mini cooper. I tried to see underneath of my mini, but there is no clearance at all so couldn't see anything. Do I have to go to a serve center?

Try and replace the cabin air filter that should take the smell away.
