Where is the drain hose for the air conditioner located on the v70 xc Turbo? The system is pressurized correctly, but it cuts out intermittently. When it does this the compressor is still running. These leads me to believe that it has something to do with the evaporator, but I am not getting any draining beneath the car. I want to make sure that the drain hose is not clogged before I take more drastic measures.

The drain hose outlet is just behind the firewall on the passenger side of the center tunnel. Not very easy to see from underneath.
You might want to consider removing the passenger kick panel on the right side of the center console and have a look with a flashlight.

Check you cabin air filter, if it is clogged with dirt it is not letting enough air through to keep the evap from freezing.
