Arrow From where is the AC condenstaion supposed to drip?

I noticed that the AC condensation has been dripping from the area where the red arrow points. It looks like some also dripped out where the green arrow is pointing. Is it supposed to drip out in the area that the red area is pointing? It doesn't look like it should drip out there but what do I know.

Thanks

I don't want it to be dripping from an area where it shouldn't be, there is sometimes a strange odor when the AC is on and wonder if this has anything to do with it.
My old E350 had a clog and it wouldn't drain in the proper area, so mold and mildew grew. Don't want the same thing to be happening here.

Thank you

It will not clog if you use it properly. I hear the worst you can do to it is when your sitting in a parking lot for 3 hours (what ever) and have it just run. As long as you use it when your driving, it will be fine.

The strange odor is mold in the condenser.
I've heard of many people using something like THIS to clean the system out.

You can avoid the mold buildup by turning the A/C off a few minutes before your destination and allowing the warm air blowing through to dry it out.
