Default Evaporator drain 2002 v40 1.8i

Hello, back again.
No1 son has sweaty sox smell from aircon, where does the drain from the evaporator terminate. Photo would be great.
I intend to inject bleach up there to kill off any bacteria as I have a 50 ml syringe and a long rigid plastic tube.

To make mine smell a bit sweeter, i put some water in a hand sprayer, with some bleach added, & squirted it in to the air intake near the windscreen wipers with the blower turned on, I also covered the interior vents with cloth to stop it staining the interior, I then left it a while & squirted some air freshener in the same way.

Thanks for that, my son loaned his car to a friend who regassed the refrigerant system, in the recent hot spell continued use of the a/c flushed the smelly sock away.
I had a similar plan to yours where I was going to bleach the condensate tray via the drain, but it's not necessary now.
