Default AC Drain Clogged

Hey guys,

So today I found out that my AC drain is clogged and I can hear the water in my dash moving and it is also throwing a CEL code. In order for me to unclog the drain I first need to find it in the car. Does anyone know where it may be located? Preferably a picture would help better. Thank you!

If you pull back on the carpeting on the passenger side, it is right there. Rubber tube leaving the HVAC that enters the firewall

water sound is a well known issue on the is300. u might have bubble in ur coolant system making water sound in the passenger side.
