# 6 pic one shows the one I'm talking about.. it is held out right above the spline shaft joint for the front shaft. Drips cold water on it as the ac is on, but worse yet, when you are stopped and the ac drains are still dripping the condensation out.
What happens to the hot front windshield when the defroster blows cold air on it, condensation collects on the other side of it. That would make me thing cold water dripping on the outside of the warm/hot splined shaft would make the inside prone to condensation if there isn't a good seal and lots of grease. I've seen them come it with a red rust dust all around the splined shaft from just this, which is why I plan on moving that drain over an inch or 2 on mine and removing the front shaft for a good greasing of the splines as a preventative measure.
