Anyone know where the AC drain hose is? I think mine might be clogged plus I want to put some cleaning solution in but I can't seem to find the drain hose. on my 2000 Land Cruiser it was located above the passenger side sway bar bracket but I'm not sure where it is on my 2010 lx570. I tried looking at diagrams but none of them seem to pinpoint the location hopefully somebody can help my AC stinks really bad

Subscribing to thread since I just ordered the Toyota AC cleaning kit. It was $27 shipped and has two different cans.
 
Looks like it may be above the transfer case? I see some liquid dripping from up there but no way to access it. Very confused. Usually the drain comes out of the pass side firewall towards the bottom. For the life of me I can't find it
 
I only ever seem to find water coming out in the center of the vehicle above the transmission.. and yes this is even with the coolbox off. I rarely use it.

Keep in mind that our evap core is in the center of the dash, not off to the pass side like most cars. Given this detail I could see the drain just going downhill and backwards to exit above the transmission or transfer case
 
I read through several threads and there are 3 drain locations, one for the main core, one for the cooler box, and one for the rear ac. However they say you can't use the Toyota two can cleaner since the main drain is just a slit not a tube. I am going to try this Einszett Klima-Cleaner. It was mentioned that you spray remove the blower motor and spray it through the inlet to the evaporator core.

Yeah I saw that slit and water coming out of it. Haven't tried to get my arm up there to see if I can hold the point of the applicator against it.
 
I noticed a clear drip I here in the middle of the truck yesterday. Checked with a piece of paper under it, clear and no smell. Anybody else have a drip there? I just assumed A/C
