Is there where the tube is dumping the water? Right on the collector of the header?

There are 3 other tubes like the one you have pictured on the drivers side that you should also check.

Update: I finally found it, thanks to Scott. This A/C tube is very small.
Thanks

I have pictures of the 90 degree drain line fitting and a shot of where it is if you view it from the top (engine compartment) and the windshield cowl drain tubes.

The drain tubes highlighted by flashlight in fenderwell area.
There IS a forth drain hose for the Cowl drain. It is on the passengers side too.
As for the fourth UTTER, It is a L O N G black hose and you will need to pull the passengers wheel well access off to see it. It is all the way in the back against the fire wall and it is behind some of the wiring harnesses. You can take out the battery and see the tube! It is a little bit bigger in diameter than the other utters. You can NOT service it from the battery well area. All you can do us see it. You will end up finding it in the wheel well access area easier if you find it in the battery area first and have some one wiggle / move it.
I have yet to find any trash in that one but I continue to check it.
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions.
