Any here have a diagram/schematic showing the drain locations on the Mercedes SL, R230?

I did a search on the net and also on this forum but i did not find any

I know there are a drain under each side of the windshield (left side and right side) which comes out behind the left and right front wheel
There is also one drain on the left and right side in the trunk lid opening which can be clearly seen

But does any here have a diagram over his from Mercedes? I am sure Mercedes have issued a diagram over this and that is what i am looking for

I asked this a while back and didn’t get any answers. Might be a bit easier if you told us what you are trying to fix?
