Yesterday ( Having not thought about the plenum for many years now-- ) I decided to pass a rod down through the drilled hole. I could see the rod poke out from under the car.--No leaves, no water.

I actually felt a little disappointed at finding nothing come out of the drain pipe.
Guess I might need to wait another 5 years before I get a result.

We have a few trees here too.--A couple of large pine trees whose needles seem to last for ever refusing to go quietly like any normal tree's leaves. Normal leaves seem to rot down to nothing.--

I gave mine a good rodding, OHH err missis, and it came out clean, no debris,
