I'm a newbe to this forum and doing some work on my neighbors 1988 560SL. I opened the gas filler door and see that a puddle of water has formed around the base of the compartment. After drying it out, I can see a drain hole that is plugged with debris. I cleaned out the debris and ran a long wire probe down to clear any obstruction. I can see a rubber hose connected to this drain that disappears into a grommet on the inside of the wheel well. I gently probed the drain hole until the probe bottoms out. Then a water test and the drain still fills with water and forms a puddle. This has rust written all over it, so I want to fix it.
What does this drain look like? Where does it go ? How can it be repaired?
Thanks for any help on this.
