Where are the drainages?
While poking around the engine bay a few minutes ago, I found about a cup of water pooled beneath both the ECU and the brake fluid reservoir. I can’t find the drain to poke it with a wire hanger. Where are they?

It's a black tube that falls down into the recess. After you grab it, you will see it hooks on the edge at the top. Kind of a bad design, but lots of cars have that system to get ride of water in the heater vent for outside air.
Your manual should show a picture of it or do a search.

Obviously (in theory, at least) at the lowest point - but they're not easy to see. The one under the brake servo is easier to locate.

Perfect design for catching leaves, etc.

Removed all the water with a turkey baster. I noticed the drainage pipe from the windshield sill was out of place on the ECU side.
I didn’t find the drainage towards the engine yet. I’ll check it out tomorrow morning and I’ll get to removing whatever is in the way.
