Default 97 GT water on passenger floor

HI all, I have a 97 GT v8 and I just noticed a wet carpet on the passenger side. [] I pulled up the carpet and it is not anti-freeze, appears that water in coming in from up under the dash. Could this be from AC condenser? Perhaps a drain is clogged? Anyone have any idea on how to find this drain and fix? Appreciate your assistance in advance.

yup, your a/c evaporator core box is probably clogged on the bottom... i'm not sure where the drain is, but this will cause it


do you run the a/c frequently>?

Thanks TX02GT and Monkeydude for the replies. Yes, have been running the a/c lately and thought that might be the problem but wanted to confirm. Do you know where to find the drain outlet on the firewall? Can I see from above or under the vehicle? Any suggestion on how to unplug? I had a similar problem with my Jeep but was able to fish a piece of wire down from the top and clear it. Thanks again for your help.

Put it up on ramps, look up towards the pass. side firewall. You should see about 2-3 inches of the tube. You might get lucky and use a line with a smaller outer diameter than the inner dia. of the evap. line. Shove that in the evap line and blow it out. Might work.
