Default Water Leak (AC leaking?) in passenger side floor 1991 civic 4wd wagon

I'm not sure if this is AC related but it sure seems to be. Water seems to be pooling somewhere under the passenger side dash and poors out when you accelerate or turn hard, it does it especially when running the AC and it's freak'n ice cold water too.

I was told by a friend that's it's a common problem, but he didn't know how to fix it, now i've been searching all morning and can't find an answer to how to remedy this problem.

any help would be appeciated.

it's a good amount of water being dumped, btw and it's not when it's raining either.

the ac system has a condensation dumptube in the engine bay on the firewall of the passenger side. It is supposed to dump the extra condensation onto the ground. Chances are that this dumptube is somehow routing the water into the car. You will find it in the engine bay. It is near the charcoal canister thingy...below it.

everything is resolved, there is a drain that goes through the firewall under the charcole canister into the engine bay and below the car to drain excess moisture...

turns out that tub had been pushed forward into my cabin where there was no place for it to go. it was pinched off like a Z in two places and was not allowing the water to drain.

I had to have something to drain it into so it wouldn't just poor into the floor and i cleaned out the drain tub and replaced it to the proper location.

problem solved and ac seems to work much better now, and also much dryer!

thx for everone that helped
