Question Slight Water leak when A/C is turned on???

I noticed some water leaking from under the dash on the passenger side when the A/C is on. Doesn't seem like that much, but what could be the problem? Even after I park it seems to keep dripping. Any suggestions? Thanks.

your A/C condensation drain line is most likely clogged -- do a quick search on it, you'll find some good info

clogged? doesn't sound like its clogged to me. sounds like normal behavior. Its just condensation build up that drips out. its totally normal. on a hot day if you look at any car with there windows up and assuming they have AC on you will see small water drips from the bottom of the car.

from outside the car, yes...you see the condensation. However this is leaking inside the passenger dash onto the passenger floorboard, making a small puddle.

oops. didn't read your original post correctly. i just read that you were leaking water from the passenger side thinking passenger side under the car. if its inside the car then something is definetly wrong. try taking apart the kick panels down there and locate exactly where the water is coming from. may be something as simple as a windshield leak (if you changed your windshield recently) due to rain or even a carwash, but thats something i would check out right away. lots of electronics in that particular area.

he only gets the pool when the AC is on. I know of a 99 SC300 that has the same problem. It's the condensation drain tube -- it's clogged somewhere.
