Clean it so its spotlessly clean. (no mold etc)
then RTV glue its seam. (point of leak)
give it 12 to 24hrs to cure.
even bath tube RTV caulk works.
or car blue RTV< all will work. pick a nice color, id pick black.
its just a drain pipe, not high tech.
this part is the condensate drain, as fitted on all a/c equip.cars.

Testimonial: "Thks... but to get to the drain pipe I had to dismantle dash, wheel and AC unit :("

    only looking works, damage has no laws or rules. what broken takes real eyes looking at parts. (hose fell off, cracked or its mount broke, or ? full of mold.)
    why ask how to fix damage from the blind here.?
    if you need to know its just a drain pipe
    it fits to the condensate pan, and lets all that water go to the ground and missing passengers toes.

    all a/c have this, even homes.

    why not get it serviced if the damage is confusing to you.... what other path is there?

SOURCE: where is the drain pipe on Suzuki air con

It will be the heater core only if you're losing coolant, you'd be able to smell the coolant if you turn the ac on. If you're not losing coolant then it is probably a clogged drain tube.

Air condition wather in the interior car

Could be the drain tube is partially clogged. It is usually located on the fire-wall or down towards the floor pan under the car. It is usually close to where the A/C lines go thru the fire-wall. About 1/2 inch diameter sticking straight out but may have a 90 degree elbow pointing down.
Also, it's been extra hot and humid all over and moisture could be freezing inside the unit when on MAX A/C, then suddenly melting when switched to normal. This opens the outside air door and allows warm/hot air into the unit instead of recirculating the cold air inside the car. The drain may not be able to handle a large, sudden quantity of water.
Perform a "driveway" test. Open the hood, start engine and run the A/C on normal with the windows or doors open. Locate the drain tube by looking for water dripping. Once located twist 2 or 3 pipe cleaners together and verify the tube is clean. Then close the doors/windows and switch to MAX A/C. Check for water dripping. If it stops dripping, water is freezing inside and now you know why!

You might take it back to who ever changed the idle air control motor and ask them about it. They could have knocked the drain tube out, or plugged it to stop it from dripping on them or the floor.

As long as you dont cram or force anything up the drain tube, you'll be fine. No, there is no easy way to get to the evaporator area under the dash. There are a lot of fasteners and drilling and cutting is required.
