Drain Mitsubishi mini split exchange unit

Got leaking drain. leaks into wall and down into garage.
Anyone knows how to get to it on Mitsubishi ductless exchange unit? It was working fine for almost two years, either slipped off the nipple of somehow got plugged.
I just need to know how to get to it.

Thank you.

Ca you blow out the line from outside? Might make a mess indoors but the line should clear. Or maybe feed a wire through the line to clear it?

I could but I need to get to it. Reason being, it drips inside the wall, so I am not sure, what the hey. I have snake I could use. I am worried it's kinked or came off or else.

It's in the bottom corner, can be on either side, depends how guy installed it. Drain is supposed to be tied into refrigerant line, taped together, so it will be cute to get to just the drain line. I'll have to figure out how to remove cover to get to it. Likely clips, it's Japan.

More than likely it will require two people to do. You'll need to lift the unit up and off the wall hanging bracket very carefully so as not to damage the refrigerant lines..

But can I do this with lines attached ?

From what I remember..... the line is connected to the back as the unit is installed.

It should be illustrated in the installation manual. If you don't have it.... post the model.

False alarm. I finally figured what was causing water leak down below. Leaking dishwasher.
yet, I acquired a useful skill - how to take apart and clean wall unit.
