It's possible the water overflowed through the fan area and down that way.....I am hoping....but what is the possibility that I punctured the tubing and created a leak into the passenger compartment? Anyone know what the drainage tube looks like and is it even possible for a cable tie to puncture it? Is there sheet metal between that drainage area and the passenger footwell area?

I may have to carefully fill up that outside area again several times to verify I have not punctured the drainage path somehow.

Thanks
