Well, John, it's supposed to go out the bottom through an opening w/ a
little "spout" on it.  There is supposed to be an odd looking rubber
drain hose on the spout.  These are usually clogged w/ leaves and stuff
and do not work, hence it backs up.  It's a little tricky to clear
one--start from the bottom of the car w/ a stiff wire that has no sharp
points and keep your face away from the end because it will eventually
clean itself as you use the wire.  Gravity, you know!!!
