Just one this myself, drained about 1 pint from each hole 
Below is a picture detailing where the hole is, please ignore state of arch as its cold and wet and im lazy.
Directly behind metal divided which I have marked with red splodge this is where the drain is. I have marked a blue splodge on its rough height.
Put your hand flat against the back of the metal divided with your finger tips touching the inner arch and run hand up, you will feel a rubber hose type hole thing, this is it.
You cant see drain hole looking into arch with wheels on, you need to use you fingers to locate the D-spot.
Penetrate hole and make the car squirt.

Which wheel arch is this in?

It's not the front 
Never poke up, always prod down - otherwise you run the risk of popping the top drain feed out and then next time it rains, the drain will empty into your car.

In my experience crud builds up behind the metal vertical divider, there is a bit of a shelf. This stops the water draining out and it goes in to the sill under the door instead. Clue: water sloshing.
Use the the high powered lance at the car wash and get rid of the crud. This should clear the water outlet. No need to clear out the rubber channel. Anyway that worked for me.
