did you snip the end off? I had my tech do that when I had an oil change.

a/c drain udder
I had water in the passenger floorboard and some electrical malfunctions. A/C drain was clogged. Removed the A/C drain udder and cleared the blockage. Question is, do I need to reinstall the udder? It seems impossible to get it back in place. Can I leave it off, or am I asking for trouble? I searched, but couldn't find any info addressing my question. Thanks for any wisdom you can provide.

I rolled the ends back on mine. I couldn't bring myself to cut them off. And I got tired of cleaning the leaves out of them

I still can't seem to locate where it is exactly. I have a puddle under my car every time I park but I can't find this utter I hear so much about. I don't have any water in the cab, just under the car.
A picture of where the damn utter is would be awesome.

No, if you have a lift it's very easy to remove and snip off the end. If you remove the passenger side fuel rail cover it's easy to see it. But still hard to reach. It comes out of the firewall below the wiper tray.

The term "udder" really doesn't apply to that drain tube anyway (or else something got cut off mine already). The big ones that collect the leaves/etc are the much larger drains for the cowl/wiper area.

So if it's leaking on the ground under the car, then it's ok? Good to know. 
4 days after I bought my car I took it on a road trip down the Oregon coast to my folks place in California. While checking out the "Elk viewing area" about half way there, I managed to bottom out on a HUGE speed bump in the parking lot. Shortly after we had stopped for dinner and I notice a huge puddle forming under the car. I thought I might have done something until I noticed it was pure water. I was a little freaked out at first.

Although I suppose Mercedes etc have some system where it stores the water and then dumps the tank when the car is above a certain speed, just so their customers' garage floors don't get water-spots.
