Engine COmpartment Water Drains
I have found both, but the pass.side is still a bit clogged even tho I strained the hole. ANy other ideas if there is another drainage hole near the hood strut/joint.???

One in each wheel well for the cowl intake ...
.. a double-necked one on the firewall under the A/C housing, and the two on the transmission tunnel under the plastic trim.
There are others as well, but they are for the sunroof track drains.

I did the two that go into wheel wells, right at the hepa air filters. Still have a lil puddle on pass side

The HEPA filters are in the hood, not the wheel wells, so maybe we are misunderstanding eachother.
The wheel wells are where the tires are. In this case, the front tires. Right above each tire is a nipple. Pinch it and roll it in your fingers to get the leaves and tire bits and road grit out.
I'm thinking that you cleaned the U-shaped, double nippled drain which is against the firewall?
How about the 2 drains IN the passenger cabin, which are the most likely to cause trouble ...

I meant the two clogged areas below the HEPa filters, when the hood is closed... duh LOL
This plastic covers are in place there, just below the windshield and the wipers. I did both the hoses that go into the wheel wells, but my pass side still has a lil pool leftover

The wheel wells could be considered the upper drains ..
so they take care of the water up high (from rain).. the lower drains in the passenger compartment are for the bottom side of the a/c system and drain the heater core / ac chiller coil box (some rain but not much and condensate from the ac chiller coil).
Cleaning the cowl drains (upper) and not the lower (air box) is only half a cure.
