Default Evaporation drain issues!

About a couple of days ago I started to smell a mild odor coming from my car but was unsure what the hell it was. After pulling the floor mats up I saw the mats were soaked and the carpet underneath was damp. Figured it was something to do with the A/C as I had just got it fixed. I stopped running the A/C to see what would happen but even that didn't stop the water flow, if I turned left the water would shower my feet and if I turned right the passenger side would get soaked. Did a lil research on here and found out the Evap drain was probably clogged up and needed a lil help. Took it the local shop paid the guy $20 for him to blast some air up in the evap drain and back to normal. A couple cups of water, a stone and some other debris came pouring out lol.

Its on the passenger side of the car. You'll have to get under the car and find a black box coming out of the firewall. There will be a hole in the box, which is the drain. There is no drain hose.

Unfortunately I found the drain hole and it wasn't plugged. Even used a long piece of new brake line and blew it out with air.
