The hose is inside the A-piller, you will not see if unless you remove the head liner. If you open the sunroof, you can blow our the lines will some compressed air, which should fix your leak issue.

If the drain hose is not clogged, the leaking roof may be due to the frame on the sunroof rusting and a rubber gasket leak. I fixed the leak on ours by cleaning the gasket and top glass and sealed the top of the sunroof gasket to the window with a silicone caulk.

For the past two years it has not leaked. Simple and cheap to fix (1 tube of caulk)- but glass and gasket should be dry and warm.

Mine leaks if I take a run thru the car wash... but thats just because I need a new seal around the glass.
other then the car wash, its good to go.
