Default Help - car flooding but we are in a drought

Can someone please explain how to locate and fix the air conditioning condesate leak that is flooding the front and rear floorboards of my 04 ES330. I've read eleswhere about leaking doors and sunroofs. But we've not had rain for months. I'll get it dried out and after 30+ minutes of AC, the water will just appear. It has to be condensation and a clogged line somewhere. Can anyone help me locate it so I can unclog, reattach, or just fix it. Many thanks

Take up the carpet or crawl under the vehicle? Thanks

Pull the carpet off the left side of the passenger footwell, the evap is in the center of the car. It is also a good idea to crawl under the car, (while it is on jackstands of course,, NOT THE CAR JACK), and check the end of the drain tube.

Thanks so much. The tube had come out of the hole. I blew real hard on it and it didn't seem to be clogged - just came out. I'll let it air out and then run the ac and see if I can the overlfow out onto the ground. Thanks again.
