Default a/c acting up

When my air is on it makes a crakeling popping noise in side the car under the dashboard on the passenger side theres a black box that developes alot of condensation and leaks
not only that but right when i pull in the drive and shut off the car there is a huge puddle of water under there and its not like the normal puddles you see on a car its huge and you can see water drop trails from where i drove down the street and pulling into the drive way
anyone have any ideas

im having it looked at tomarrow just wondering if anyone else has had any kind of problems like this
thx

As far as the rental, see if they have any Shelby H codes available.

The more I think about it, pretty much the only way you are going to store up enough condensation off of the A/C is if the condensate drain plugged up. That is where the water in the passenger floor boards is coming from. Unless it's coolant and you have a bad heater core. That would do the same thing to the floor boards and leave a stream behind you. But you'd be able to tell if you were loosing coolant and if the water in the floor board was cold or hot. I wouldn't think with 49k the core would have gone out though. I'd bet it's the condensate drain.
