AC drain line clogged...
AC drain line clogged...
...so I noticed water flowing from the passenger dash the other day. Figured it was a clogged drain line so I pulled it loose and tried to run a cable through it. The cable wouldn't go all the way through so I put it up on the ramps to check the other end. Found a 6" rachet extension stuck into the end of the tube!Is this some sort thing with mechanics when they do an oil change? Do they stick the extension in there while working on it if they don't need it?I recently had the oil changed at WalMart so I figure that's where it must have come from.I did want to check this though. On the underside it should just be a ~3" rubber tube hanging out, right? Wanted to make sure there wasn't a longer piece missing or something since it seems odd that they have it dripping right onto some undercarriage parts.

yeah, that's normal (the short tube, not the tool in the hose!)what a bunch of rejects they got working over there. pretty impressive that thing stayed in there that whole time though. at least you got a free tool outta the deal!
