Default 1997 Jeep cherokee Country Water leak

I have read on many forums about the issues with the AC condenser clogging up and overflowing water into the passenger portion of the cabin...

Well, I have a quick question for everyone. Yesterday, I was blazing the AC and after I shut it off for 5 minutes and walked into my house and came back out, there were 2 puddles of water under the jeep where the 2 holes in the frame rail are underneath the passenger front seat.

Is this how the AC condenser is supposed to be draining properly? Draining through the frame rail?

BTW, no water inside the cabin at all.

Thanks.

Some times it will run down the frame rail.

If you follow the hose out of the fire wall it actually makes a 90* turn and dumps thru a hole in the frame. I've always thought that this was strange.
