AC leaking onto passenger side floor/carpet
Have a 2001 Civic couple LX noticed last week it was raining heavily but also had the A/C blasting the whole time, and noticed the passenger carpet was SOAKED. I pulled up the carpet under glove box area and foam and under the black rubber piece was a lot of water. I thought it was leaking somewhere from rain water through windshield drain but that wasn’t it.
I ended up soaking up all the water letting it dry it dry and put it back together thinking it was just caused by how much rain we got. So fast forward to yesterday it was not raining but I had the A/C running and noticed it dripping onto the carpet up top where the glove box is. So I’m guessing it has to be a A/C hose that runs through there maybe? If anyone knows let me know thanks!

Remove the covers that are at the passenger's feet. There is a drain tube at the bottom of the black evaporator box that lets the condensed water run out onto the ground through the engine bay. It is most likely clogged, pinched, disconnected, or missing. Blow compressed air through it to see if that alleviates the issue.
