water dripping into cabin near gas pedal.

Hey all, I have searched and found a couple probable causes but nothing for sure. While driving today I noticed a small but consistent drip of cold water on my foot. I'm assuming this has something to do with the a/c but not sure what is causing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Most likely a blocked A/C drain tube, although most people notice the water on the passenger side (where the coils are). When you park your car after running the A/C, do you have water dripping on the pavement? If not, it's probably a blocked drain tube.

TL A/C drain tubes are somewhat notorious for getting plugged from road dirt/dust/debris. At least one person (think it was 240sx) told of a tube that had been intentionally plugged by an oil change shop and they forgot to unplug it after the oil change.

Get this fixed ASAP. Try running your car through a car wash that has in underbody spray.

The water can get into your ECU/PCU and fry it. Do a search for "water" and you'll find some scary threads. It's very expensive fix if the ECU/PCU get fried.

The drain tube exits on the passenger side near the firewall.

check drain tube and also check the path of the water to see where it is coming from.
