Pass side floor gets wet when running A/C
So I must have a plugged drain. My pass side floor gets wet when I run my air conditioning. If the a/c is odd, it never gets wet. Where is the drain for it?? Any help would be appreciated!!

The evaporator is on the other side of the firewall. not in the car. is there debris within the ac box preventing it from draining into the bay?

I'm not sure. What would I have to take apart to find out? I saw a little hole near the bottom side of the a /c box and there was a little water seepage from it.....but I didnt see any kind of hose drain or anything. Is that all there is for a drain?

You can remove the top part of the ac box that look at the evaporator while its running

Well I got the evaporator box split apart, but i cant get it all the way off. I did get it apart enough to get a blow gun in there and blew the crap out of it for about 5 min, along with my shop vac hose. I got a bunch of little leaves to come out. Hopefully that'll do the trick
