Default 2002 C5 AC drain problem

My 2002 C5 coupe started leaking condensate out of the evaporator onto the floor. This started after i changed the starter. I can't seem to find the drain pipe from the evaporator to the outside. Is this a common problem or did I cause it when I changed the starter? Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Either way the link above should help you out...............
It is very clean and cold and is dripping from the bottom of the motor where the little rubber hose goes from the evaporator housing to the bottom of the motor. My wash water is tinted green and it wasn't raining when this happened.
