AC leaks water inside the car!

This thing annoys the heck out of me because everything my shoes (and the passenger too) would get wet due to the water leak from the AC. I think the water might be from the condensation, so when i make turns the water will start dripping down from the underside of the front dash. Has anyone ever encounter this before? I tried looking under the dash but couldn't see any visible holes or cracks or anything.

you either have a clogged condenser drain or you have a coolant leak. If it is a coolant leak it will have a distinct smell, obviously.

You must really dig in to solve this problem...and if i were you i would definitely solve it sooner than later before your carpeting starts to smell like ass.

happy hunting.

yeah i hate the smell. I think the condenser drain is clogged because the water thing come out doen't look/feel like coolant. Also, my car doesn't drip water under the hood after i use AC as most cars would.

Does anyone here know how to fix a clogged condenser tube?

I had the exact problem. It was a clogged drain tube. Use a can of compressed air and unclog the drain tube. After I unclogged it water just started pouring out. Never had a prob since. The tube is located by the front passenger wheel behind the firewall. Do a search too.
