Aircon drain tubes

I take it that's what the rearward facing tubes at the back of the engine are that were dripping water into a little stream when l parked up at work tonight?

Only if you'd been using the air-con.

Otherwise it's the plenum drain.--

The longer aircon drain tubes are visible by just looking under the sill. The squatter plenum floor drains are situated too high to be seen like that. You need to be under the car to see them, tucked up higher and more forward of the others. The aircon drains originally had rubber flap valves pushed on the ends, but many got lost.

Yes, l popped my head down & they were clearly visible dripping away. I had been using the aircon.
Thanks for the confirmation.

The ends are missing, BTW.
