There is a drain hose in the base of the ac chamber that drains condensate out under the car. This hose blocks up with gunk from inside the car ( looks like black slimy moss) and the water cannot get away. You will have to disconnect the hose of the chamber and clean both the hose and the fitting back into the chamber.

SOURCE: leak onto floor passenger side from neck of ac drain through firewall

It's not your heater core. If your heater core is out it would leak antifreeze. My wife's 97 Grand Cherokee had the same problem. It is condensation from your AC coming leaking through a round hole in the AC unit at the firewall. Pull the carpet back and dry out underneath it, there will be a lot of water and we had to leave the carpet pulled back with a fan blowing on it all weekend to dry out. I fixed this about 8 years ago so if I remember correctly, the was a plastic part of the AC at the firewall that had a hole in it that the water was coming out of, I could see leaves and debris in the hole so I know it was part of the drain system. I cleaned out what debris I could and used a cone shaped peice of rubber and twisted it in to plug the hole and tapped over the plug to ensure that it wouldn't back out with vibrations, etc. After you dry everything off start the engine and turn the AC on max, you'll be able to see the where the water is leaking from after the AC gets cold. Hope this helps, it drove us nuts for a year before we figured it out and the wet carpet smell wasn't pleasant.

SOURCE: I have a 2001 eclipse. Water leaking onto driver

I recently had this repaired. As it turns out, the evaporation reservoir separated from the firewall. I was fortunate enough to have a good mechanic that completely diassembled my dash to locate the leak. He did not make up some lame diagnosis. I was unfortunate enough to have to pay for the extensive work, but it is worth it. He resealed the heater core compartment to allow the water to drain out properly. I spent many hours searching for an answer in the internet. this is the only solution that I know of.

Location of ac condensate drain , it's plugged and leaking into the car

The weep drain is located on the left and right sides of the firewall and you may see a rubber tube sometimes, and hear a sloshing of water building up, unless, it's all leaking onto your floor.

2001 BMW 525I Leaking water on foot when turning right AC been on for a few hours.

There is a drain hose that is about 1/2 inch in diameter, it gets plugged or dislodged... Usually only a jamb fit...so easy for passenger to kick it.

A/C units, as you know, remove moisture from the air and need to drain this water away..

Locate hose on right side, firewall area. And then find the same hose inside. Inspection of this area and resolve what you find and that is most of it...

2001 325ci a/c not cold. What could be the possible problems?

Most of the times it is low on charge, if it is low that means you have a leak somewhere in the ac system. It have to be done by a trained ac mechanic.
