okay 30 days later GOT IT !!!there are 4 drains in cowling area ..2 on each side. the ones on the firewall are easy to see but they are joined by 2 others that are not so visable ..one on passenger side is by cabin filter and one on driver side is below fuse box...removing the tork screws as you would when replacing the filter makes passenger side one readily accesible ..i did not try to remove the fuse panel but did squirt h20 from garden hose to clear passageway in hose.I live where there are many pine needles and they had accumulated over the years...this is a big relief....SO.. if you've got h20 on your floors and you've checked the windshield and sunroof drains (2 frwrd,2 back)and pretty much every other possibility, this just might be your fix...Thank you brickboard
