The evaporative drain on your ac is plugged up so the water that condenses from running the air conditioning has nowhere else to go.

had this problem with my teg; check the seals around the heater/ac air intake between the hood and the windshield. could be leaking rain through there.

I wouldn't DIY a/c unless you know what you're doing.

I don't know where it is but if they put your car on a lift they should be able to find it. They can blow away any debris that plugs this drain with compressed air. Leaves twigs etc often pile up ang plug this drain. When the drain gets plugged running the a/c often results in cold water spilling in the passenger footwell

Here's a link about a similar problem : http://www.cartalk.com/content/colum...97/May/06.html
