Default 2010 XF A/C Condensate line

Been driving the new to me 2010 XF for a couple of months now. Never have noticed any water from the A/C under the car. Thinking the drain line from the evaporator is plugged.
Anyone know where this line exits to outside the car? I cannot find it and cannot find any information on where it should be.

THANKS!
George

Congrats on the new car!

I've been driving mine for 8 years and never noticed water under the car. What makes you think it's blocked - is there an issue with the system? Or just the lack of drained water?

Just going by every other car I have had. My 96 XJ6 will leave a considerable amount of water while the A/C is running.
System is marginal at best, I think the valve on the compressor needs to be replaced. Maybe it just is not cooling enough to make water.
Figure the condensate has to go somewhere. Maybe i'm just not making any water.

I think most of the condensate on these systems just drips from forming on the outside of the high pressure pipe once the air in the car gets cooler and isn't warming the evaporator so much.

Also, the undertray on these cars is fairly extensive, so most drips are caught by that and you don't notice them.
