no worries man. actually i found it! had my girlfriend navigate me from above using a diagram from realoem.com. no blockage inside the drain tube, however the damn thing had sealed itself shut on the driver's and passenger's side. i am not sure what happened. i opened them both and probably 3 cups of water came out immediately...

fyi to anyone that finds this in a search (cause i hate when people never tell you how they resolved a problem in a thread): i did not take a picture (apologies), but you have to remove some of the rubberish shields under the car. this took about 30-45 minutes. they are tricky shields and a big PITA. i never completely removed the one i needed to, just was able to bend it enough to get to where i needed to.

about 60% back from the front of the transmission (on both sides), look against the wall of the chassis near the transmission and there is about a 10 inch black tube. that tube runs parallel with the tranny and is on both sides of the tranny as well. don't have your eyes anywhere nearby as a lot of water comes out when you finally open or unclog them...

we took a test drive and a little water came out, but nothing near the amount that was capable of fertilizing a corn field beforehand.
