Does it happen when your ac is on? If so then the drain on the condenser is plugged up and the water makes its way through your ventilation system and onto your floor.

There is a drain tube that exits through back side of evaporator box (black tank), penetrates the lower firewall, and turns vertically down. Open hood, find drain hose, and check whether water is dripping from the hose drain when AC is running. If not, the hose is blocked (check tip of hose for mud blockage), or more likley dirt/leaves/bugs in the evaporator box have blocked the drain outlet to the rubber tube.

You may be able to remove the blower fan and look into the evaporator box to visually check face of evapator, and perhaps drain outlet. You may need a mirror and light to gain visual access. I don't think you'll be able to clean w/ this access, but might be worth a try (small diameter hose w/ vacuum?).

Usual way of fixing severe blockage is removal of evaporator box. This requires discharge of AC system. Get a Acura manual for guidance on evap box removal. It's not terribly difficult, but don't try w/o detailed instructions.

good luck
