Never should you drill into any part of an appliance. AC units produced in the past 6-7 years will not have a drain hole in the unit like older models. This is because they are designed to pull out moisture in the air and hold it in the back of the unit. The condensor fan kicks up the puddled water and "slings" it so to speak on the coil to keep the unit cool internally. If you do not see water dripping out of the unit's back, then DO NOT drill into the unit. It is working properly. You might even hear "slushing" sounds coming from the unit as well, this is normal.
