Unhappy 1980 300SD…..drain hole????

Hello All,

Have an issue and need some input.

My 1980 300SD (W116 body) is gathering water in the fuel filler area. Whenever it rains and I open the fuel filler door there is water that isn’t draining. So, is there a drain hole in the area where you fill up your car? If so, I guess mine is plugged. How do I unplug it so it drains?

Thanks!!
