Default Drainage from windscreen- Or lack of!

Folks,

I have a minor problem which has somewhat made itself obvious due to the monsoon conditions today. As a result I can hear sloshing under the bonnet

Basically, of the windscreen drains, I recently managed to clear the side 2, which exit under the wheelarch. But I can't find any kind of drain for the middle bit (Under the cover behind the "V8" in this picture)

Anyone know where it is/where it exits and how to clear it? I've had a root around underwater but cannot find anything.



It's a slight concern because there are a lot of electronics around the area and I'm sure the soaking can't be a good thing

Thanks! I sense hours of fun ahead rooting around with a bent bit of pipe-marvellous. Not quite as easy as the side ones
