Default Corvette Udders

Was browsing through old forums and found one about the 2 Udder shaped drains below the cowling. Went to check mine and sure enough, one of them was totally clogged. This forum is great, probably saved me having to get a new wiper motor in the near future. If anyone wants to check theirs, they are located between the brake booster and the hood latch. looks just like cow udders. Just stick your fingers into the bottom opening and pull out the crap.

I'd ask if you could post some pictures, but we could get into trouble!

Just open the hood, drivers side, look between the powerbrake booster and the hood latch. A bit behind and below. They are two thick rubber tubes side be side. Very easy to see. Hope this helps

Thanks for the thread. I found my three udders, two which were almost clogged and the third completely full of wet leaves, etc. It's amazing what a person can learn here isn't it!
